Which term describes a complete search of a subject used when the subject is in custody?

• A. Custodial Search Technique
• B. Cycle
• C. CS
• D. Concealment

Answer: (A)

The concept here is a thorough, in-custody search of the person. When someone is in custody, officers perform a complete search to uncover weapons, contraband, or escape tools before processing them further. This procedure is specifically called custodial search technique because it explicitly covers the setting (custody) and the extent of the search (complete). It’s more comprehensive than a quick pat-down or frisk and is designed to ensure safety and security within the custody environment. The other terms don’t match this described action: cycle isn’t the standard label for a person’s full search, CS is an abbreviation for other concepts in training, and concealment refers to something hidden rather than the act of conducting the search itself.
