When conducting a quick frisk on a person seeking asylum, what should be done if weapons or contraband are found?

The correct course of action when weapons or contraband are discovered during a quick frisk on a person seeking asylum is to notify the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) and discontinue the frisk. This procedure is crucial for multiple reasons.

First, notifying the ECC ensures that proper protocols are followed in managing potentially dangerous situations. The ECC can coordinate a response, including sending additional security personnel or law enforcement, to handle the individual appropriately while ensuring the safety of everyone involved.

Second, discontinuing the frisk at that point is important for the legal and procedural integrity of the interaction. The discovery of weapons or contraband may indicate that the individual poses a risk, and moving forward without appropriate support or documentation could lead to complications regarding legal procedures or rights afforded to asylum seekers.

This approach maintains respect for the asylum seeker's rights while also taking necessary precautions to safeguard personnel and the surrounding environment. It is a balanced response that complies with the law and security protocols, ensuring safety and proper handling of sensitive situations.
