Which of the following is NOT listed as a reason for pre-booking search?

• A. To improve lighting in cell block
• B. Safety
• C. Eliminate suicide risk and prevent death in custody
• D. Officer safety

Answer: (A)

Pre-booking searches are part of risk control during intake, aimed at protecting everyone involved. They’re conducted to detect weapons, contraband, or items that could cause harm, to reduce suicide risk in custody, and to safeguard officer safety during processing. Improving lighting in the cell block is a facility maintenance issue focused on the environment, not a direct objective of the search itself. So the reason that does not fit the purpose of a pre-booking search is improving lighting in the cell block.
