Testing Custody Operations Directives : 20-002 Employee Temperature Testing ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 20-002 Employee Temperature Testing PURPOSE The purpose of this directive is to familiarize personnel with a protocol implemented by Custody Operations, as part of the Sheriff’s Department’s efforts to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The body temperature of a healthy person averages 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (or 37 degrees Celsius), with small variances of higher or lower temperatures. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide that temperatures of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or higher may be indicative of a fever. A fever is one of the possible symptoms of a COVID-19 infection. Personnel are advised to adhere, when possible, to all current social distancing guidelines from the CDC and the County Department of Public Health, and to maintain an appropriate distance from any employee or other person who is displaying flu-like symptoms. ORDER Anyone entering a Custody Operations facility at the beginning of their shift, or coming in to conduct any business at any time, is required to check and monitor their temperature prior to entering, and again after leaving for the day. If an individual is unable to check their own temperature away from the workplace, or has any concern about their temperature at any point after they have arrived at a facility, custody facilities and bureaus have been provided non-contact infrared thermometers to be used by personnel to measure their own body temperature before accessing their workplace. The following is a protocol to safely use the non-contact infrared thermometer: Perform hand hygiene; Conduct a self-temperature check (refer to instructions on attachment); After use, disinfect the thermometers using an alcohol-based wipe or alcohol-dampened clean napkin; Perform hand hygiene. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Current Revision Internal Version Printed: 5/11/2020 Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Pg. 1 / 2 Custody Operations Directives : 20-002 Employee Temperature Testing ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ In instances where a person’s body temperature is measured at or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and/or the person is displaying flu-like symptoms, the following procedures shall be adhered to: As a precautionary measure, the person shall not be permitted to remain in the facility, and shall be instructed to contact their supervisor. Anyone displaying flu-like symptoms is encouraged to contact their healthcare provider for treatment and follow all directions from their healthcare provider. Department employees who are not permitted to enter or remain in the facility shall be allowed paid administrative leave time while the unit conducts further inquiry into whether or not the matter is work related, whether or not an employee will be referred to the Department’s employee testing program, and how long any healthcare recommended quarantine period might be. The concerned supervisor shall make notification to the unit commander or a designee and the Custody Emergency Operations Center (Custody EOC) of Department employees whose temperatures measured at or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and/or who displayed flu-like symptoms. In addition, the concerned bureau (e.g. Inmate Services Bureau [ISB], Facility Services Bureau [FSB], etc.) shall be notified of any contractor, vendor, or volunteer whose temperature is measured at or above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and/or who displayed flu-like symptoms. The concerned unit commander or designee shall be notified of employees who refuse to conduct a self- temperature assessment. In addition, the concerned bureau (e.g. ISB, FSB, etc.) shall be notified of any contractor, vendor, or volunteer who refuse the self-temperature assessment. Unit commanders shall establish procedures in their facilities and bureaus to address the following: The tracking, maintenance, and replacement, if necessary, of each thermometer; Designation of facility or workplace ingress points best-suited to ensure anyone entering a facility is aware of temperature check restrictions. Ensuring these designated locations have appropriate sanitizing items for disinfecting the thermometers following use; Ensuring supervisory personnel make timely and appropriate notifications to the Custody EOC. Questions regarding this directive should be directed to Custody Support Services Bureau, Lieutenant Geradette E. Montoya, at (213) 893-5846.

Inmate workers entering an isolation and/or quarantine location shall also wear the appropriate PPE as designated by the unit commander. Additionally, unit commanders or their designee, shall ensure unit personnel are properly notified of any changes in housing locations which have been placed under isolation, quarantine, and/or restricted movement. The policies and procedures outlined in this directive may change as needed and shall remain in effect until the concerned CDM section is adopted and/or this directive is rescinded. Questions regarding this directive should be directed to Custody Support Services Bureau, at (213) 893-5102.

Basketball diplomacy is also a lens to observe the evolution of American power from 1893 through present day. Basketball connects and permeates foreign cultures and effectively disseminates American influence unlike any other form of soft power, which is most powerfully illustrated by the United States’ basketball relationship with China. American basketball diplomacy will become stronger and connect with more countries with greater influence, and exist without relevant competition, until the likely rise of China in the indefinite future.

    Media Contact: Brandon Moyer – [email protected], 804-814-7275 Michaela Robbins – [email protected], 423-991-7212 The 2015 Racial and Gender Report Card: National Basketball Association by Richard Lapchick with Angelica Guiao Published on July 1, 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Orlando, FL, July 1, 2015 – The 2015 National Basketball Association Racial and Gender Report Card (RGRC) was released today and confirmed the League’s continued leadership position in the sports industry with its commitment to and record for racial and gender hiring practices during the 2014-2015 NBA season. The NBA once again received men’s sports only A+ for racial hiring practices and men’s sports only B+ for gender hiring practices with scores of 97.4 points (up from 96.4) and 88 points (up from 86.5), respectively. The overall grade was an A with 92.7 points, up from 90.9 in the 2014 RGRC. The NBA was the best for all three categories among the men’s professional sports and achieved the highest grade for racial hiring practices in the history of men’s professional sport. Richard Lapchick, the director of The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES or The Institute) and primary author of the report, stated, “No other men’s league reaches the same points for race, gender or the combined score. The NBA remains the industry leader among men’s sports for racial hiring practices. While they did well overall for gender, especially in the League Office, women were still not well represented at the senior team levels and attention needs to be paid there.

  • The Agenda Diversity 100 Board-Ready, Diverse Candidates You’Ve Never Heard Of
    The Agenda Diversity 100 Board-Ready, Diverse Candidates You’ve Never Heard Of June 2021 A Note to Readers Dear Readers, The past year has seen unprecedented demand for directors from underrepresented communities. Boards have recognized that a full spectrum of voices in leadership is necessary to remain competitive in today’s demanding marketplace (for recent developments, see methodology, pages v and vi). Meanwhile, investors, proxy advisors and regulators are also pushing boards to diversify themselves. Agenda, the Financial Times’ publication for corporate board members, and our partner Equilar are aiming to help our audience meet these demands by offering this list of 100 pre-vetted and board-ready candidates. Each hails from one of the demographic groups identified by California lawmakers in recent legislation aimed at diversifying boardrooms. Previous international and state laws establishing requirements for gender diversity on boards have shown how intentionality in board recruitment can really move the needle — hundreds of companies added women to their boards after laws requiring female directors were passed. Diversifying boards, which have remained largely male and white in the United States, requires deliberate recruitment choices. Meanwhile, our internal data at Agenda shows a keen interest among our readership in finding more board members from diverse backgrounds. Those named on our list of 100 were confirmed by the well-respected board directors and other governance experts on our nominating and selection committees to have the leadership and strategic skills necessary to add value to a board. We encourage you to make use of this directory as you look to diversify your candidate slates.

  • Political Polls in Jeopardy Random Polls, Which Survey a Tiny Fraction of People, Are Projecting the Outcomes of Elections with Amazing Veracity
    NEWS Agriculture and Life Sciences May 2000 Political Polls in Jeopardy Random polls, which survey a tiny fraction of people, are projecting the outcomes of elections with amazing veracity. But polling's success may be short-lived because more and more people are refusing to respond. ith just six months to go before the presiden­ tial election, political pollsters are raking in the dough. And earning their bragging rights. WAlthough only about 1500 of the more than 200 mil­ lion Americans of voting age are called for each of the many polls leading up to national elections, polls con­ ducted shortly before elections that ask people how they are likely to vote are very accurate—usually within two percentage points of the real outcome. “National political elections are some of the few instances where there is a true outcome to evaluate the veracity of the poll against,” notes professor Ronald Ostman, chair of the Department of Communication. “The goal is to call it right. Nevertheless, most of us are skeptical 1 about polling, finding it tough to believe that national opinions or behaviors can be projected from what are essentially tiny numbers of peo pie.
