Justice Manual § 9-28.1710
Approval of Determinations Concerning Monitors
The decision whether or not to impose a monitor shall be done in a manner consistent with Department and component policy, with a notification to the appropriate United States Attorney or Department Component Head (components may have additional approval requirements). Any agreement imposing a monitorship, including a deferred prosecution agreement, a non-prosecution agreement, or a guilty plea, should detail the reasoning for requiring a monitor. Where relevant, agreements where a monitorship was ultimately not imposed should detail the reasoning for not requiring a monitor.
Some components might have additional requirements regarding monitors, and in the case of court-appointed monitors, prosecutors must give due regard to the appropriate role of the court and/or the probation office.
