BOP Program Statement 2272.06 § 5

procedures will be used to deploy staff during TDY situations:

a. Deployment of TDY staff within a specific region is at the

Regional Director's discretion and every effort shall be made to

keep TDY deployment within the region affected. Deployment of

temporary duty staff outside of the region where the situation

exists requires the Director's authorization.

b. The Regional Director, after consultation with the Warden

of the institution to which TDY staff are being sent, shall

determine TDY position needs. The regional office staff shall

select institutions to send TDY staff based on current staff

complements and the operational needs of the sending institution.

A sufficient complement of staff shall be deployed to ensure

that the TDY facility is able to meet necessary operational needs

while preventing extensive overtime.

c. Once an institution is identified to provide TDY staff,

volunteers shall, insofar as possible, be solicited from affected

departments (e.g. Food Service, Correctional Services, Medical

Services, Human Resources, Facility Management, Chaplaincy).

When a list of volunteers has been established, the Warden

shall select TDY staff based on their experience, special

knowledge, and the specific requirements of the TDY assignment.

d. If there are no volunteers, the sending Warden shall assign

employees in accordance with the agency’s right to carry out its

mission. The Employer will consider any adverse effects on an

employee’s financial condition should they be ordered to a TDY

assignment.

e. Every effort shall be made to avoid sending probationary

employees on TDY assignments of this nature. If it is necessary

to send probationary employees, only those who have completed

Introduction to Correctional Techniques Training at the Staff

Training Academy at Glynco, Georgia shall be selected.

f. The services of some support positions (e.g. secretaries)

may be obtained through local job placement centers.

g. Reasonable efforts shall be made to assign duties to TDY

staff which are similar to the duties they ordinarily perform at

their home institution.

h. Prior authorization from the Director is necessary before

non-law enforcement covered staff are deployed.
