BOP Program Statement 1380.12 § 6

RESULTED IN EXONERATION

Generally, allegations that cannot be substantiated or are not credible, or have resulted in the

exoneration of an employee, are not considered potential impeachment information.

Nonetheless, upon request, the Bureau contact person must provide to the requesting official

such information that reflects upon the truthfulness or bias of the employee in the following

circumstances:

P1380.12 1/3/2018 5

■ The requesting official advises the contact person that it is required by a Court decision in the

district where the investigation or case is being pursued.

 On or after the effective date of the Attorney General’s policy, July 11, 2014:

 The allegation was made by a Federal prosecutor, judge, or magistrate judge.

 The allegation received publicity.

■ The requesting official and the contact person agree that such disclosure is appropriate, based

upon exceptional circumstances of the case or the role of the witness.

■ Disclosure is otherwise deemed appropriate by the contact person.

When there is a question of whether information may be used for impeachment purposes, the

contact person must provide the information and advise the requesting official, to the extent

determined, whether any aforementioned allegation is unsubstantiated or not credible, or resulted

in exoneration.
