Thanks for the feedback. It amazes me everytime we find contraband on the unit, even though we do very thorough searches. I am just hoping to find a way to improve our search policy and stay within the guidlelines of regulations already set in place. I am hoping that by taking a surreal approach with the staff to inform them of the possiblities that could have or that have already happened to someone else will be an eye opener! To get them to understand the importance of thorough searches. Thanks again for your input! jamie

Thanks for the info! Jamie

Thanks for the feedback! Anything helps. IF you have more stories I would love to here them... thanks again Jamie

I was wondering if anyone has any stories about injuries to staff or patients within a psych setting r/t overlooked or missed contraband or contraband slipped to a pt by family members/friends..... Anything would be helpful. How do other facilities conduct possession searches?
