Dear fellow translators,

Here is the context:

La fouille de sécurité est généralement le fait du chef de poste qui s'assure par là que la personne peut faire l'objet d'une mesure de rétention dans les locaux ad hoc. (un individu en état d’ivresse publique et manifeste, *la mise en geôle d'un gardé à vue*, la rétention préalable à la conduite devant un magistrat).

Many thanks again as always.
