I'm unfamiliar with the department, but I find it surprising that the agency does not mandate firearms be secured before entering a prisoner processing area.
Looked like they were processing another prisoner and then brought this guy in. Best practice is to keep a prisoner in a vehicle while another prisoner is up being processed. Then next up gets processed. 3-1 officer to prisoner is a good ratio at initial processing stage.
As far as UOF, it's good to go, dude had his gun in hand and immediate violence was required to end the threat due to the close proximity.

Everything I post I do so as a private individual who is not representing any company or organization.
They said "intox room" and I saw a breath instrument in there. When we still used breath tests (we do all blood now) we had them in both roll calls and in jail facilities. Jail locations would be inside the "no guns" area, but roll call sights weren't.
I've watched the video a few times and can't see how he manages to get the gun. I'm assuming it's some type of retention holster, were all the retention devices being used?
No way we could do that with adults. We simply have too many to process and the sheriff runs jail wagons. We'd have a parade of cars and wagons around turn-key if we did it one-by-one.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Looks like everyone is running 6300 or 7300 ALS only holsters on thigh rigs, without a hood guard. Doesn't appear that the gun came out of the holster, though its impossible to see. Cop still had it in the holster as he exits the room, though. Important reminder that even the skinny little twerp who's only in custody for DUI can still hurt/kill you.
ETA: sounds like the suspect is repeatedly saying "Theres a gun in my shoe..."......which he's holding behind his back. Cop who's gun is grabbed tells him "I'll get the gun out."? Did I hear that right?

Good point by BehindBlueL. In the old station of my former employer, the Intoximeter room was located outside the processing area off a hallway across from roll call. There was an issue with the temperature in processing which forced us to move the Intoximeter to another location. Things got rather sporty when numerous county troops used out facility for DWI processing (as their station was located far from where most lock-ups occurred.
