BOP Program Statement 3420.14 § 7

Illegal activities on the part of any employee, in addition to being unlawful, reflect on the

integrity of the Bureau and betray the trust and confidence placed in it and its employees by the

public.

It is expected that employees obey not only the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law,

while engaged in personal or official activities.

Should an employee be arrested for, charged with, or convicted of any felony or misdemeanor,

that employee must inform and provide a written report to the CEO as soon as practicable (but

not later than 24-hours after being arrested and/or charged, and/or convicted). In addition, when

subject to criminal prosecution for any felony or misdemeanor offense, an employee must

provide the CEO timely updates in writing (no less than 24 hours later) of any significant events

occurring in the criminal proceedings including, but not limited to, the filing of any criminal

Complaint, Information, or Indictment; any plea agreement reached with the prosecutor; and any

court order or court docket minutes pertaining to the results of any hearings including, but not

limited to, any orders binding the employee over for trial, adjudicating the employee’s guilt,

sentencing the employee, and/or dismissing the criminal case.

Employees who are subject to home detention or other form of supervision which includes court

ordered electronic monitoring (such as GPS enabled ankle bracelets) must inform their CEO

immediately (no less than 24 hours upon receipt of any court order or instructions). Such

employees will be restricted from accessing Bureau facilities. Such monitoring is incompatible

with the Bureau’s law enforcement mission. These employees are not considered ready, willing,

and able to report to work and must arrange to utilize their accrued leave or request another

approved status (such as leave without pay) for the duration of the supervision period.
