INTRODUCTION: Every Lieutenant must read and sign the Post Orders prior to assuming the duties of this position or as soon as practicable after assuming duties of the post. This is a supervisory position involving the direct supervision and evaluation of Correctional Officers assigned to the Correctional Services Department, the overall supervision of the Institutions in the absence of the Warden, Associate Warden, and the Captain, you will investigate all incidents, roster assignments, the scheduling of leave, ordering of supplies, supervision of the Special Housing Unit, the collection of urine, administering of alcohol sensor tests, sanitation within the inmate housing areas and in general. You are an advisor to the Captain on matters pertaining to security of the facility. As the Operations Lieutenant, you are directly responsible for the security and the orderly running of the institution as it relates to custodial matters. On the Evening and Morning Watches, you shall assume direct responsibility for all phases of the institution operations. To accomplish these tasks, you must be well versed in current Bureau of Prisons Program Statements, Institutional Supplements, Correctional Services Manual, local policies and procedures. You must have a good working knowledge of all departments within the institution and functions of Unit Management. You must carry a radio at all times and respond to any and all emergencies or requests for assistance. Report any serious incidents that occur during non-duty hours to the Captain and Institution Duty Officer. STAFF TRAINING AND ACCOUNTABILITY: All staff (including sick and annual reliefs) assigned to an OC aerosol dispenser post will receive the required training, and go through quarterly re-familiarization training prior to assuming their post each quarter. Training will include, but is not limited to, proper carry and security of an OC aerosol dispenser, use of force policy and the definition between immediate and calculated use of force. These post orders will be read prior to working designated posts or when this cannot be accomplished, the shift Lieutenant must be notified immediately. The Operations Lieutenant will ensure staff have read, understand and signed the post orders. Staff will be held responsible for guidance outlined in national and local policies, post orders, position descriptions, and general guidance issued related to posts designated with an OC aerosol dispenser. Officers and Lieutenants who have not received OC specialty training are not authorized to carry an OC aerosol dispenser.

USE OF FORCE/EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS A post assigned with an OC aerosol dispenser is in addition to emergency response plans already in place. Local written procedures will continue to be in effect and the OC aerosol dispenser is an enhancement in staff and inmate safety, included in these post orders. These procedures will outline steps to be taken in case immediate force is required as a result of a serious assault, recreation yard incidents, or other serious incidents during all shifts. Trained officers can use immediate force without the presents of a supervisor. Once you have assumed your position/post, check the OC aerosol dispenser, along with the other equipment assigned to the post, for any defects. In the event there are defects or leakage to the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant and/or the Security Officer, and record it in TRUSCOPE. In the event of an accidental discharge, decontaminate yourself and notify the Operations Lieutenant. Once you have decontaminated yourself with soap and water and notified the Operations Lieutenant, decontaminate the affected area with soap and water, and ventilation if possible. The usage of an OC aerosol dispenser must be limited to the performance of official duties only. Staff are again reminded that use of the OC aerosol dispenser outside established policies and procedures will result in staff disciplinary action. The preferred method of resolution is through verbal intervention. However, the safety of staff and inmates in any dangerous encounter is paramount and may require the use of an OC aerosol dispenser. Staff may use the necessary amount of force only as a last alternative after all other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have failed. Staff may use the necessary amount of force to gain control of the inmate, to protect and ensure the safety of inmates, staff and others, to prevent serious property damage, and to ensure institution security and good order. The OC aerosol dispenser must be carried in an approved holder, leather/nylon belt loop holster, specifically designed to hold an OC aerosol dispenser. No other method of carrying the OC aerosol dispenser is authorized, i.e., cargo pocket. The full cone spray has an effective range of 10 to 12 feet but should not be used closer than 4 feet.

Fingers of the drawing hand should be extended and firmly gripping the aerosol dispenser. 2. Staff should assume an appropriate defensive stance and continue with verbal commands. 3. Place thumb on the actuator. 4. Spray the facial area, specifically the eyes, delivering one two-second burst. Once the OC aerosol spray has been dispensed, staff should step back to avoid being contaminated by the spray and maintain direct supervision of the inmate(s). Continue with verbal commands. 5. Allow the OC aerosol spray to work while providing verbal commands to the inmate (e.g., lay face down with arms spread). 6. Evaluate the response of the inmate(s). If the inmate(s) does not submit to restraints and/or comply with staff orders within 15 seconds, a second two-second burst is authorized. After a second assessment, or if the inmate(s) has not complied with staff commands, alternative methods to control the situation may be pursued. 7. Decontamination procedures include fresh air and the use of soap and water within 15 minutes, or as soon as possible, after OC aerosol spray has been applied. Normally, this is done before the medical assessment. 8. Once the OC aerosol spray is used and the inmate(s) is in restraints, Health Services staff will be notified immediately. A medical assessment will be performed to determine if the inmate(s) sustained any injuries. 9. When an immediate use of force is necessary (e.g., involving serious bodily harm, etc.), staff are obligated to obtain a camera and begin recording the event as soon as it is feasible. As soon as control of the situation has been obtained staff must record information on: circumstances that required the need for immediate use of force; identification of the inmate(s); injuries; and staff, and others involved. (See PS 5566.06, Use of Force and Application of Restraints). A reasonable correctional workers perception of the events would govern the use of the OC aerosol dispenser in situations which require an immediate response to an emergency situation. The Warden should be notified as soon as possible after any such use. Documentation is to be submitted in accordance with the Program Statement Use of Force and Application of Restraints. Oleoresin Capsicum delivery systems are authorized to be used for immediate response to situations in which an inmate cannot be approached without danger to self or others; and it is determined that a delay in bringing the situation under control would constitute a serious danger to the inmate or others.

FIRST RESPONDER INSTRUCTIONS: Any Lieutenant may be required to assist the Operations and Activities Lieutenant at various times throughout the shift should a procedural problem or emergency situation arise. Because of this, all Lieutenants are to be familiar with the information contained in the Post Orders for those posts. The following list of action should be utilized as a guide when responding to emergency situations. CELL SEARCHES: The Operations Lieutenant will ensure that each unit officer does shakedown at a minimum five (5) inmate cells during their shift on Day Watch and Evening Watch. The Morning Watch Officer will conduct five (5) area/cell shakedowns. Shakedowns are to be noted in the shakedown portion of the TRUSCOPE program. UNIFORMS: Lieutenants are required and expected to set examples in the proper wearing of the prescribed uniform. They are also required to ensure that the correctional officers assigned to their shift are in the prescribed uniform. POST ORDERS REVIEW: Lieutenants are responsible for the continuous review of Post Orders. The Captain will assign the revision of Post Orders to the Lieutenants. It will be your responsibility to submit suggestions for changes to the Captain prior to the review deadline. All correctional officers are required to read and signify by their signature that they have read and understand the Post Orders for their post prior to each quarter change and each time they assume a new post. Other correctional staff assigned to work correctional posts will read and sign post orders prior to assuming the specific post. EMERGENCY PLANS: Procedures have been written and compiled in binders commonly referred to as Emergency Plans. These procedures cover escapes, riots, civil disturbances, etc. All lieutenants and staff will be familiar with these procedures. There are also Program Statements and Institutional Supplements dealing with other emergencies. They will be thoroughly read and understood. The officers assigned to the Main Control Center should also be well versed in these plans.

This duress code will be a word or sentence that can be interjected into normal radio traffic that would alert the Control Center and Lieutenants Office that the staff member was under duress and an emergency situation was occurring. In order to ensure that all staff have a thorough knowledge of the duress codes and proper procedures, the Operations Lieutenant will question staff and conduct occasional tests of the system. The EPO Lieutenant will be responsible for generating and implementing the duress codes on a quarterly basis or immediately upon the compromise of the duress code. The EPO Lieutenant is responsible for developing the Contingency Plans as they pertain to this institution. All factors must be analyzed and thoroughly examined when developing the best plan of action. Emergency Plans must take into account any and all uncertainties, such as weather conditions, staff and inmate locations throughout the institution and surrounding buildings. AFTER HOURS NOTIFICATION: The following staff will be notified following any incident occurring, and/or medical emergency requiring transportation of the inmate to outside hospital services other than normal duty hour. • Captain • Associate Warden(P) • Institution Duty Officer PROBATIONARY CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS: In addition to teaching the I.F. classes to new staff, the Admin. Lieutenant will be required to document all training that new correctional officers are receiving. The Administrative Lieutenant will also be responsible to develop the Performance Logs, along with all appropriate forms, for the probationary officers. Entries in these logs will be made by the Administrative Lieutenant. CORRECTIONAL OFFICER'S EVALUATIONS: A file containing a Performance Log for each employee supervised by a Lieutenant will be maintained in the Admin Lieutenant's Office, the log will be filled out quarterly and will reflect the officer's performance as it relates to the various performance bench marks outlined and described in the position standards issued to each officer. The log will also be used to record unusual events such as substandard performance, special acts or any other unusual activities by the officer of either positive or negative performance. LOBBY SECURE SAFE INVENTORY: Each shift the contents of the secured locker in the lobby area will be inventoried. If there are any discrepancies, they will be brought to the attention of the Captain and the Security Officer immediately.

However, the shift Lieutenant may authorize the use of chemical agents, Pepper ball Dispensers or OC in situations which require an immediate response to an emergency, where sufficient time does not exist to secure higher level approval. The Warden should be notified as soon as possible. A limited supply of immediate response chemical agents are maintained in the Control Center. CONTROL CENTER (EMERGENCY ACCESS): In the event the Control Room Officer should become incapacitated, a emergency key ring for Control is located in the front lobby safe. All MCC New York Lieutenants and Outside Patrol Officer have the access code for this safe. In the event of that the Control Center Officer becomes incapacitated, the following procedures will be followed: • The Operations/Activities Lieutenant will respond to the Front Lobby area and retrieve the emergency keys that are maintained in the safe.

The Use of Force Team Technique ordinarily involves a Lieutenant, trained staff, clothed in protective gear, who enter the inmate's area in tandem, each with a coordinated responsibility for helping achieve immediate control of the inmate. Calculated rather than immediate use of force is desirable in all instances corrections workers encounter. Although this is not always possible, Lieutenants must use common sense and good correctional judgment in each incident to determine whether the situation allows for the implementation of calculated or immediate use of force procedures. PERPETUAL AUDITS: The Captain will assign Lieutenant's to conduct perpetual audits of all Correctional Service areas of responsibility, to ensure that policy and procedures that relate to the security of the institution are adhered to. The Correctional Services Manual and established audit guidelines will be used as a guide to conduct these audits. DAILY ROSTERS: Daily Rosters will be maintained by the Administrative Lieutenant. The primary responsibility for the Correctional Services Roster will be the Administrative Lieutenant's. The Administrative Lieutenant will prepare Change Sheets for each week to reflect sick & annual assignments, authorized leave, training and any other assignment changes. All special requests will be given to the Administrative Lieutenant for appropriate action and notification of staff. Ordinarily rosters will be prepared at least fourteen days in advance. All Lieutenants are responsible to make any changes in the roster occurring on their shift.

There are serious security and safety concerns regarding the inmates housed in MCC New York and their CIMS status. An inmate's CIMS status is confidential and will not be shared with any inmate(s). The unit separations roster is a sensitive, confidential item which must be safeguarded at all times. The various inmate programs at MCC New York are scheduled by floors. This has been arranged to provide the inmates with a safe and secure environment during the appropriate program. This also alleviates the CIMS concerns for each program. The institution has determined separatees will not be housed on the same unit, therefore the programs should be clear of all separatees. It is the Unit Officer's responsibility to ensure all inmates are checked for CIMS concerns prior to any escort off of the unit.

If a firearm or dangerous weapon is found on the person or belongings being screened via a walk-through or hand-held metal detector, or during a pat or visual search, the screening staff member instructs the person possessing the firearm to step aside and await the arrival of a supervisor. IMPORTANT: Staff should not engage in a physical struggle in an attempt to secure or gain control of a suspected firearm or other dangerous weapon identified during entrance search procedures. During the normal workday, the screening staff member immediately contacts the Operations Lieutenant who will contact the Captain And S.I.A. and, after normal duty hours, the Operations Lieutenant. After the Captain, SIA or Lieutenant arrives, a digital image or photo of the item is obtained. The Captain, SIA or Lieutenant removes the item containing the firearm from the scanner or receives it from the person in possession. The firearm is placed in a secure area until processing of the oncoming shift is complete and the lobby is clear of all persons. Once the lobby is clear, if the Captain, SIA or Lieutenant is familiar with the firearm and its operation, he/she makes the firearm safe using the clearing barrel and standard Bureau procedures for clearing firearms. If the Captain, SIA or Lieutenant is unfamiliar or uncomfortable with clearing the firearm, it is secured as confiscated in a lockable pistol case. A Chain of Custody Log (BP-A0971) is completed and placed with;l the lockable pistol case. Tamper-prOof evidence tape is placed across the seam of the case. If the firearm is stored without completing a clearing procedure, the outside of the case must be labeled in large, noticeable letters, "UNCLEARED FIREARM." The firearm case is then placed in the gun locker used for emergency escorted trips. When securing the firearm inside the gun locker, the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction so that it does not cause damage to property or persons if an unintentional, discharge were to occur.

INMATE URINALYSIS PROGRAM: Urine Surveillance and Narcofia Identification, inmate urine samples will be taken at different hours (early morning, noon, late evening). Therefore in order to accomplish this a weekly urinalysis test roster has been established for all inmates that fall under the random testing roster. It is critical that when inmates are notified for UA testing that they are not left unsupervised. They must be watched from the time of notification until they report for testing at the Lieutenants Office.

This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial in minimizing the potential for assault. HIGH RISK LIST During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list. This list will be provided to the Lieutenants' office and the Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act out and be in need of medical/psychological attention. Additionally, the Captain should inform the Warden of any camera malfunctions, plumbing problems, or issues that may cause problems, as well as the corrective actions taken/attempted to rectify these issues. Inoperable security equipment, during serious incidents, prevents staff from being able to record and or/view the incident for possible prosecution or administrative action. SUICIDE PREVENTION INFORMATION BOP HIGH RISK GROUPS • New Inmates - The first few hours and days after admission can be critical. Newly incarcerated inmates may experience feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, agitation, depression, relationship problems, legal concerns, hopelessness, and helplessness, which can contribute to increased suicide risk. • Protective Custody - Inmates who volunteer to enter protective custody are at high risk for suicide, especially during the first 72 hours in SHU. These inmates should be referred to psychology services immediately. oniR Sensitive But Unclassified Pane 23 of EFTA00108027 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS • Long-term Protective Custody Inmates - These inmates are particularly vulnerable to depression that can lead to a suicide attempt, and should be monitored closely while they are in SHU. • Inmates Taking Medication for Mental Health Reasons These inmates are vulnerable to developing suicidal thoughts and attempting suicide by overdosing on their medication. Inmates on medication should be monitored to make sure they are not hoarding medication. Any signs of distress, deterioration in hygiene, or sudden changes in behavior should be reported to psychology. FACTORS THAT CAN INCREASE THE PROBABILITY THAT AN INMATE MAY BECOME SUICIDAL: Mental Health Factors History of mental illness 1. Is the inmate depressed, actively psychotic? 2. Has the inmate been compliant with psychotropic medication? 3. Have there been changes in eating, sleeping, hygiene, weight, recreation, activity level? Prior suicide attempt 1. How lethal was the attempt? 2. How many attempts have been made? Inmate's current mood, affect, and behavior 1. Is the inmate emotionally upset, angry, and easily agitated? 2. Are the inmate's thoughts clear and goal directed (vs. delusional or psychotic in nature)? 3. Is the inmate depressed, has there been a recent loss? 4. Has hopelessness persisted even after the depression has lifted? 5. Has the inmate given away property, revised a will or requested a phone call to say his goodbyes? Medical Condition(s)/Chronic Pain 1. Does the inmate have a chronic life threatening medical illness? 2. Has the inmate's overall health diminished recently? 3. Is the inmate experiencing pain or other negative symptoms? Relationship Difficulties 1. Has the inmate received a Dear John letter? 2. Have communications and or visits decreased? 3. Has there been a change in the relationship? 2018 Sensitive Rut Unclassified Pane 24 of 3: EFTA00108028 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS Situational Factors 1. Legal issues - pending indictment; loss of appeal to reduce sentence. 2. Difficulties with staff or other inmates. 3. Gambling debts, drugs. 4. Ending of a close relationship with another inmate. 5. Possible victim of a sexual assault. REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING INMATE BEHAVIOR Report Your Concerns - Any inmate behavior(s) that is questionable and may reflect a change in mental health status should be reported to the Shift Lieutenant immediately. During non-working hours - Inform the Shift Lieutenant of any questionable inmate behavior. He/she will determine if the on- call psychologist needs to be contacted. Segregation Log Book - Any changes in inmate behaviors should be noted in the log book. A detailed note regarding the observed behavior is advisable. Documenting in the log book serves two purposes. First, the entry serves as a means of communication for other staff members. Second, it provides an accurate account of activity during your shift. Documentation should be neat, legible, and professional. RESPONDING TO A SUICIDE EMERGENCY A Segregation Officer observing an inmate in the act of committing suicide, causing other self-injurious behavior, or who appears to have committed suicide will call for back-up before entering the cell. The officer will notify the Control Center and the Lieutenant's Office by radio of the situation and request immediate back-up. BACK-UP MUST BE PRESENT IN ORDER TO ENTER A CELL. The "cut-down" tool is located in the storage closet on a shadow board. It is the #1 officer's responsibility to locate this item at the start of the shift. This tool is only authorized to be used in emergency situations. Miscellaneous use of this tool is not permitted and will result in dulling the blade of the tool. In the event an inmate commits suicide, the scene of the suicide will be treated in a manner consistent with the investigation of an inmate death. All measures necessary to preserve and document the evidence needed to support subsequent investigations will be maintained or otherwise adequately recorded. -- 7. 201R Sensitive But Unclassified Pane 25 of 3 EFTA00108029 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SEXUAL ASSAULT PROTOCOL Reporting In all cases of reported sexually abusive behaviors (e.g., from alleged victim, staff, and/or "third party") the following will occur: The Operations Lieutenant will be notified immediately and he/she will: • Immediately safeguard the inmate (which will vary depending on the severity of the alleged sexually abusive behavior and could range from monitoring the situation, changing housing assignments, changing work assignment, placing alleged victim and perpetrator in Special Housing, etc.); • Promptly refer all inmates reported or suspected of being the victim of sexually abusive behavior to Psychology Services for assessment of vulnerability and treatment needs; • During business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, and Warden are notified; and During non-business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, Duty Officer, and the on-call Psychologist are notified. The Program Coordinator will review the psychological assessment and other relevant factors and make a determination as to whether or not to proceed with the full activation of the Response Protocol. Responding Not all allegations of sexually abusive behavior will require full activation of the Response Protocol. In some cases, the Program Coordinator will determine that there is not sufficient reason to proceed (e.g., the alleged victim credibly recanted; the alleged perpetrator was not in the institution on the date of the allegation, the inmates involved independently report a non-coercive sexual encounter, etc.) and the Response Protocol may be terminated. In cases where more information is needed, or in cases where there is a credible and serious allegation or instance of sexually abusive behavior, the full Response Protocol will be implemented. Once the Program Coordinator determines that the intervention should continue, a sensitive and coordinated response is necessary. Services will be provided in an environment that meets both security and therapeutic needs. The full Response Protocol, monitored by the Program Coordinator, involves the following components: 9019 Sensitive But Unclassified PAM:. 26 of 2 EFTA00108030 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS Protection All appropriate staff will consult and determine the actions to be taken to prevent further sexually abusive behavior both to the alleged victim (e.g. change in work assignments, change in housing assignment, closer supervision, protective custody, transfer, etc.) and/or by the alleged perpetrator (e.g., remove from compound, change housing assignment, etc.). The Captain will ensure that a STG category of "V SA UNV" is entered into SENTRY, and in instances where an inmate perpetrator is alleged, will enter the STG category of "P SA UNV" for that inmate (See Section 13.b. for further details). PSYCHOLOGICAL: Psychology staff are responsible for crisis intervention, assessment of treatment needs, documentation of the evaluation results, treatment, psychiatric referral, and/or other treatment options related to the alleged victim. In addition, Psychology staff provide guidance to Unit Management and Community Corrections staff regarding an inmate's post-release mental health needs. Inmate perpetrators (or alleged perpetrators) of sexually abusive behaviors will be referred by' the Operations Lieutenant to Psychology Services. Inmates considered high-risk for sexual re-offending may be referred to specialty treatment and/or management programs, individual or group counseling, or may be managed through standard correctional techniques. If an inmate perpetrator is determined in need of treatment services and refuses treatment, Psychology Services staff will document the refusal and place it in the medical section of the Inmate Central File and notify the referring staff of the refusal. Documentation of treatment compliance or refusal ensures continuity of care within, between, and outside the Bureau. Examination Medical staff are responsible for examination, documentation, and treatment of inmate injuries arising from sexually abusive behaviors, including testing when appropriate for pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Where indicated, medical staff, trained in the collection of sexual assault evidence (i.e., "rape kit") should conduct an examination for physical evidence which may be used later in formal investigations. At institutions where Health Services staff are neither trained nor certified in sexual assault evidence gathering, the inmate will be examined at the institution by trained health care professionals from the local community or at the local community facility equipped (in accordance with local laws) to evaluate and treat sexual assault victims. Sensitive But Unclassified PAOP 21 of EFTA00108031 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS Prophylactic treatment and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases will be offered to all inmate victims, as appropriate. Whenever an inmate is referred to Health Services for examination and treatment of injuries related to sexually abusive behavior, staff will encourage the inmate victim to complete an Inmate Injury Assessment and Follow-up form (BP- S362) as required by the Program Statement on Patient Care. Investigation In cases where the full Response Protocol is activated, staff are trained to investigate allegations of sexually abusive behavior thoroughly. The information concerning the identity of the alleged inmate victim and the specific facts of the case are limited to those staff who need-to-know because of their involvement with the victim's welfare and the investigation of the incident. This is important not only to preserve the victim's privacy but also to preserve maximum flexibility to investigate the allegations. Initial Notifications. Upon activating the full Response Protocol, the investigation phase is initiated and the following notification(s) will be made: Inmate Perpetrator on Inmate Victim. In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against another inmate, the Special Investigative Agent (or SIS) will be notified immediately. Staff Perpetrator on Inmate Victim. In the event that a staff member is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against an inmate, the Warden will be notified immediately. The Warden will notify the Regional Director and the Office of Internal Affairs (OIA), who will in turn notify the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and when appropriate, will notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Inmate Perpetrator on Staff Victim. In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against a staff member, the SIA/SIS will be contacted immediately with follow-up notification to the Warden. Crime Scene Preservation. The staff first responder will preserve the crime scene. SIS staff will be responsible for collecting information/eVidence. The investigation, in coordination with the agency to which the case may be referred, will follow the guidance given in the Special Investigative Supervisor's Manual that outlines gathering and processing procedures. ' 9018 Sensitive But Unclassified Patio 29 of EFTA00108032 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS Physical Evidence Collection. When there is a report of a recent Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, or there is a strong suspicion that a recent, serious assault may have been sexual in nature, a thorough physical examination of the alleged victim - to include a "rape kit" will be completed immediately. Physical evidence collection may also include an examination of, and collection of physical evidence from the suspected perpetrator(s). After Action Reviews of Violent Sexual Assaults. Following any incident of Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, the Warden, Program Coordinator, Chief of Correctional Services, Health Services Administrator, and Chief Psychologist will meet and review the incident. This review is to assess the reasonableness of the actions of staff following the incident, to ensure the security and treatment needs of the inmate victim have been addressed adequately and the management and investigation of the inmate or staff perpetrator is progressing appropriately. Within two working days after the initial reporting of the Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, a written report highlighting the relevant facts should be produced and the Warden or designee will personally attest by his or her signature that the review has taken place and that the steps taken by staff were either appropriate or inappropriate. A copy of this report will be forwarded to the Regional Director. Consideration for staff impacted by the incident is necessary. Arrangements for debriefing affected staff and referral to appropriate services to mitigate the stress associated with these events should be offered. Administrative Disciplinary Process and Prosecution In keeping with this "zero tolerance" policy, perpetrators of sexually abusive behavior will be disciplined and/or referred for prosecution. Tracking Sexually Abusive Behavior. Tracking and analyzing the incidents of sexually abusive behavior are critical to the safety and management of inmates and the security of all Bureau facilities. Monitoring these incidents allows the Bureau to assess the effectiveness of current policy and procedures in regard to the extent of sexual victimization. To ensure full and accurate reporting and analysis, the SIS will maintain secure investigative files which include data on: • The victim(s) and perpetrator(s) of sexually abusive behavior; • Crime characteristics; • Formal and/or informal action(s) taken; lnla Sensitive But Unclassified Pane 29 of 2 EFTA00108033 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS • All collateral reports, supporting memoranda, and videotapes; • Medical forms; and • Any other evidentiary materials pertaining to the allegation. The Office of Internal Affairs will report the cumulated data on the inmate victims of staff and inmate sexually abusive behavior to all Chief Executive Officers and the Psychology Services Administrator at the end of each quarter and at the end of each fiscal year. SUICIDAL SITUATION IN SHU OR THE HOUSING UNITS: If you are the first person to notice an inmate hanging, you should call for staff assistance (Operations Lieutenant & Control Center)and remain calm and wait until sufficient staff and Lieutenant arrive prior to handcuffing the inmate=s cell mate(s) (if applicable) and unlocking the cell door. If feasible, obtain protective equipment from the above mentioned areas. Cut the inmate down, protecting the head and neck area. Always administer life-saving procedures. Post Orders and log books are confidential documents and should never be left unattended or in an area accessible to inmates. Post Orders must be secured at all times when not in use by staff. It is the responsibility of the employee to inform the employer of the fact they have not been able or afforded the opportunity to read such orders. The employer will then advise the employee of the general requirements of the post, and answer any questions. Employees assuming posts under these circumstances still have the responsibility of exercising sound correctional judgment based upon their training and experience and will make reasonable efforts, before assuming your post. After reading the post orders, the employee must sign and date the Post Order Review Sheet which is located in Section 5 of this document. These post orders are not intended to describe in detail all the officers' responsibilities.

Probable cause, reasonable determination, or reasonable belief means facts and circumstances known to the employee at the time of the use of firearms that would cause a reasonable employee to conclude that the action is appropriate. 701. CARRYING OF FIREARMS. Title 18 U.S.C. § 3050, authorizes the Attorney General to prescribe rules and regulations relating to the carrying of firearms by Bureau officers and employees. This authority is delegated to the Director in 28 CFR 0.96(o). When approved by the Warden, institution staff are permitted to carry firearms when: • transnortinn inmatpc: • assigned to escape posts, and • assigned to security posts which require firearms as standard issued equipment. Carrying or the use of personal or privately owned firearms while on duty is prohibited. Post orders, riot plans, and escape plans will include instructions for carrying firearms. a. Duty Assignment. Employees must not be assigned to duties that require the carrying of firearms prior to successfully completing the firearms familiarization training course. b. Staff Qualification. New employees must not be assigned to posts requiring the carrying of firearms before completing the Introduction to Correctional Techniques Training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. In extraordinary circumstances, an exception may be made for an employee who has completed the local firearms familiarization training with written approval of the Warden and Regional Director. c. Re-qualification. Staff must complete satisfactorily the Bureau's approved firearms training course each year. Allowances will be made in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. EFTA00108037 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 2 Chaplains, dentists, physicians, and other positions which the Director specifically exempts from carrying firearms are not required to complete the firearms familiarization training conducted at the institution and Staff Training Academy. d. Other Use of Firearms. Only the Director or Director's designee may authorize, in writing, Bureau staff to carry Government-issued firearms for purposes not expressed in this Program Statement. 702. USE OF FIREARMS. Firearms must be used only when deemed necessary for the following Law Enforcement purposes: • Prevent escapes; • Prevent loss of life or serious physical injury; • Protect government property, upon determination that the damage or loss of property would contribute directly to an escape, loss of life, or serious physical injury; and • Maintain or restore control of a correctional institution. The use of firearms is prohibited if force other than firearms appear reasonably sufficient to accomplish law enforcement purposes. Examples are, but not limited to: • Prevention of escape; • Prevention serious physical injury; and • Restoration of control in a correctional institution. The necessity to use firearms arises when all available means of achieving the law enforcement purpose have failed or are likely to fail. An employee is not required to jeopardize personal safety or the safety of others before using firearms to prevent serious injuries/bodily harm or death. If use of firearms is deemed necessary, staff must shoot the subject with every intention of hitting "center mass" to ensure the subject is stopped. i• • EFTA00108038 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 3 Staff will not attempt to shoot a limb which creates a lesser chance of stopping the subject and may pose a danger to staff, other inmates, or persons in the community. Firearms must not be used solely to disable moving vehicles or aircraft. Firearms will only be used against the driver or other occupants of a moving vehicle when the: • Employee has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. • Public safety benefits of using such force outweigh the risks to the safety of the employee or others. As soon as practicable, medical attention must be provided to any persons injured during an incident involving use of firearms. A WO %Vass SOY._ 43 1 ‘,..4 IS ....AFC CMeSVICL; SC%eWV4AS4C0 escapee as an inmate sentenced under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. a. Escape Prevention. The use of firearms is authorized when deemed necessary to prevent an escape in the following situations. (1) Perimeter Walls. At institutions secured with perimeter walls, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items that could be used to perpetrate an escape, such as, but not limited to, a ladder, grappling hook, or rope, suggesting an intent to escape. An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. (2) Multiple Perimeter Fences. At institutions secured with multiple perimeter fences, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items such as, but not limited to, a ladder, blankets, grappling hooks, ropes, broom handles, or sticks, that will perpetrate an escape. EFTA00108039 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 4 An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent threat danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. When authorized, throughout this policy, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to self, other staff and inmates, or the community. Warning shots will be fired into the ground and never into the air or in an indiscriminate direction. The inmate is not required to be on the first/inner perimeter fence before the employee issues the warning. When the inmate actually contacts the EiLatiiunet perimeter fence in on attempt to climb or demonstrates an attempt to get on or over the first/inner perimeter fence, and the employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted, the employee may shoot the subject. The employee is not required to wait until the inmate is between the perimeter fences or over the first/inner fences. (3) Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCCs) and Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDCs). When an employee reasonably determines that an escape is being attempted from a MCC or MDC, the employee should give a verbal warning. If the inmate continues, the employee may shoot the subject. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of injury to innocent bystanders. (4) Minimum Security Institutions. Ordinarily, firearms are not used to prevent escapes from minimum security level institutions. However, weapons are authorized when the escaping inmate has used or threatened to use force which is likely to cause serious physical injury or has manifested an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots should be used when feasible. (5) Escapes with Outside Assistance. Firearms may be used against persons who are not inmates, if they are facilitating an escape and have used or threatened to use force which is likely EFTA00108040 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 5 to cause death or serious physical injury against the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots must be used when feasible. (6) Escape from Escorted Trip or Prisoner Transport. When an employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted from an escorted trip or prisoner transport, the employee must issue a verbal warning. If the inmate continues and the escape is occurring within the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee will fire a warning shot, if feasible, prior to shooting the subject. Outside the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee should not fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject due to the possibility of injury to innocent Absent the use or threat of force which would likely cause serious physical injury or a manifested imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community, it is not permissible to use firearms to prevent an escape of an inmate in transit to or from a minimum security level institution. The exception to the rule is when the escorting employees are transporting inmates at the same time to a minimum and non-minimum security level institutions. (7) Once An Escape Has Occurred. After an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution, and the immediate environs has been successful, employees attempting to apprehend the escaped prisoner may not use firearms unless there is probable cause to believe: (a) The subject has committed a felony involving the plfliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury or death. (b) The subject's escape would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. Note: The phrase "after an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution and the immediate environs has been effectuated" should be interpreted in the following manner: EFTA00108041 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 6 • As long as a staff member is in continuous pursuit of an escaping inmate, whether the escape takes place from an institution, transport vehicle, or outside facility (such as a hospital), the escape has not yet been effectuated. The use of firearms is permissible under the escaping inmate standard. • The immediate environs of an institution is defined as the property lines of the correctional facility. This boundary may be expanded by the Warden with the Regional Director's concurrence and should be defined as explicitly as possible. A verbal warning should be given if it would not pose a risk of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or others. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of liyalanjcLo. b. Prevent the Loss of Life or Serious Physical Injury. Staff may use firearms when reasonable belief exists that the subject poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to staff, inmates, or others. Firearms will be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. In a hostage situation, once it has been contained and attempts to negotiate have begun, only the Warden may order the use of firearms to resolve the hostage situation. Warning shots will not be fired as in an attempt to resolve a hostage situation, nor used to create a diversion. c. Protect Government Property. Firearms may be used to prevent damage to or destruction of Government property when the loss of that property could contribute directly to an escape or attempted escape, serious physical injury, or loss of life. For example, the use of firearms may be necessary when persons are attempting to damage or disable a fire truck during a fire within the institution. If individuals attempt to break into a .o. vig 1 EFTA00108042 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 7 building where weapons, gas, or other security risk items are stored, firearms may also be used.

When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff, other inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. d. Maintain or Restore Control of a Correctional Institution.

Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. 703. ARMED ESCORT BY COMMERCIAL AVIATION. The Warden may authorize staff to carry firearms when transporting an inmate by commercial air carrier. Title 14 CFR Part 108.11, Carriage of Weapons, and Part 108.21, Carriage of Passengers Under the Control of Armed Law Enforcement Escorts (199 ), allows law enforcement officials, while performing their duties, to travel while armed. Staff must notify the air carrier prior to departing the institution of the intent to carry firearms. Staff must complete all required forms and provide required information to the carrier. Staff must follow the procedures detailed in the above referenced regulations. EFTA00108043 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 8 When not transporting inmates, Bureau staff, carrying firearms aboard commercial aircraft, must declare this to the carrier and have the weapon placed in checked baggage. The above referenced regulations should be referred to for additional requirements concerning the placement of firearms in checked baggage. 704. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. A written report must be submitted to the Warden upon the discharge of any firearm, privately owned or issued by the Bureau.

The Captain will maintain strict accountability of Bureau badges. Lost or stolen badges must be reported immediately in writing to the Correctional Services Branch, Central Office. Except for tower and perimeter patrols and established stationary check points, staff assigned to duties which require the carrying of firearms will be issued a Bureau identification badge. The badge must be displayed when necessary to establish the staff member's authorization to carry a firearm. Appropriate badge holders will be provided so as to allow the employee the ability to securely attach the badge to his or her outerwear. Badges may not be used as methods of routine identification. Employee procurement or possession of unauthorized badges, either official or duplicated, is prohibited (see the Program Statement on Standards of Employee Conduct).

STAFF TRAINING AND ACCOUNTABILITY: All staff (including sick and annual reliefs) assigned to an OC aerosol dispenser post will receive the required training, and go through quarterly re-familiarization training prior to assuming their post each quarter. Training will include, but is not limited to, proper carry and security of an OC aerosol dispenser, use of force policy and the definition between immediate and calculated use of force. These post orders will be read prior to working designated posts or when this cannot be accomplished, the shift Lieutenant must be notified immediately. The Operations Lieutenant will ensure staff have read, understand and signed the post orders. Staff will be held responsible for guidance outlined in national and local policies, post orders, position descriptions, and general guidance issued related to posts designated with an OC aerosol dispenser. Officers and Lieutenants who have not received OC specialty training are not authorized to carry an OC aerosol dispenser. If you believe you need additional training or unfamiliar with the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant immediately. USE OF FORCE/EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS A post assigned with an OC aerosol dispenser is in addition to emergency response plans already in place. Local written procedures will continue to be in effect and the OC aerosol dispenser is an enhancement in staff and inmate safety, included in these post orders. These procedures will outline steps to be taken in case immediate force is required as a result of a serious assault, recreation yard incidents, or other serious incidents during all shifts. Trained officers can use immediate force without the presents of a supervisor. Once you have assumed your position/post, check the OC aerosol dispenser, along with the other equipment assigned to the post, for any defects. In the event there are defects or leakage to the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant and/or the Security Officer, and document this in TRUSCOPE any defects noted.

Once you have decontaminated yourself with soap and water and notified the Operations Lieutenant, decontaminate the affected area with soap and water, and ventilation if possible. The usage of an OC aerosol dispenser must be limited to the performance of official duties only. Staff are again reminded that use of the OC aerosol dispenser outside established policies and procedures will result in staff disciplinary action. The preferred method of resolution is through verbal intervention. However, the safety of staff and inmates in any dangerous encounter is paramount and may require the use of an OC aerosol dispenser. Staff may use the necessary amount of force only as a last alternative after all other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have failed. Staff may use the necessary amount of force to gain control of the inmate, to protect and ensure the safety of inmates, staff and others, to prevent serious property damage, and to ensure institution security and good order. The OC aerosol dispenser must be carried in an approved holder, leather/nylon belt loop holster, specifically designed to hold an OC aerosol dispenser. No other method of carrying the OC aerosol dispenser is authorized, i.e., cargo pocket. The full cone Spray has an effective range of 10 to 12 feet but should not be used closer than 4 feet. In the event the OC aerosol dispenser is required the following steps should be used: 1. Fingers of the drawing hand should be extended and firmly gripping the aerosol dispenser. 2. Staff should assume an appropriate defensive stance and continue with verbal commands. 3. Place thumb on the actuator. 4. Spray the facial area, specifically the eyes, delivering one two-second burst. Once the OC aerosol spray has been dispensed, staff should step back to avoid being contaminated by the spray and maintain direct supervision of the inmate(s). Continue with verbal commands. 5. Allow the OC aerosol spray to work while providing verbal commands to the inmate (e.g., lay face down with arms spread). 6. Evaluate the response of the inmate(s). If the inmate(s) does not submit to restraints and/or comply with staff orders within 15 seconds, a second two-second burst is authorized.

Decontamination procedures include fresh air and the use of soap and water within 15 minutes, or as soon as possible, after OC aerosol spray has been applied. Normally, this is done before the medical assessment. 8. Once the OC aerosol spray is used and the inmate(s) is in restraints, Health Services staff will be notified immediately. A medical assessment will be performed to determine if the inmate(s) sustained any injuries. 9. When an immediate use of force is necessary (e.g., involving serious bodily harm, etc.), staff are obligated to obtain a camera and begin recording the event as soon as it is feasible. As soon as control of the situation has been obtained staff must record information on: circumstances that required the need for immediate use of force; identification of the inmate(s); injuries; and staff, and others involved. (See PS 5566.06, Use of Force and Application of Restraints). A reasonable correctional workers perception of the events would govern the use of the OC aerosol dispenser in situations which require an immediate response to an emergency situation. The Warden should be notified as soon as possible after any such use. Documentation is to be submitted in accordance with the Program Statement Use of Force and Application of Restraints. Oleoresin Capsicum delivery systems are authorized to be used for immediate response to situations in which an inmate cannot be approached without danger to self or others; and it is determined that a delay in bringing the situation under control would constitute a serious danger to the inmate or others.

Because of the nature of this facility, visits must be conducted under appropriate supervision so that security is maintained and the visiting privileges extended to inmates and their families are clearly communicated. For the purpose of this policy, the term pre-trial inmate refers to any inmate who is non-cadre, including holdovers, treaty transfers, BICE detainees, state inmates, and any designated inmate other than those assigned to the MCC New York Work Cadre Unit. Staff must be able to verify the identity of visitors before their admission into the institution. Acceptable means of identification are, government-issued identification, passport, state-issued photo identification (with a date of issue and expiration) and valid drivers' license. In cases where visitors do not have photo identification, they will be required to have three types of identification with signatures. These need not be the sole means of identification. However, identification cards from quick photo places, and check cashing establishments are not acceptable forms of identification. Tactful questioning may clear up doubtful cases. Visitors sixteen (16) and under do not have to show identification unless of course they appear to be older. In such cases, if a visitor under the age of sixteen cannot provide documentation, i.e., a birth certificate (when requested) to prove relationship and age, the visitor will not be allowed into the institution. The following procedures will be in effect regarding authorized visiting lists. Each inmate will complete a visiting list. The visiting list will not exceed ten (10) approved visitors for pre- trial inmates and (12) for cadre inmates. Immediate family members and two (2) person of "meaning" will be placed on the visiting list absent strong circumstances that preclude visiting. Immediate family is defined as mother, father, step-parents, step-children, foster parents, grand-children, brothers, sisters, spouse and children. As the situation presents itself, other non-immediate family members will be allowed to visit at the approval of the Associate Warden of Programs (AWP).

If efforts to locate the inmate fail, the inmate shall be immediately reported to the shift lieutenant as missing and appropriate action initiated to locate the inmate. CELL ASSIGNMENT - SEXUAL OFFENDER/PROTECTIVE CUSTODY Cell assignments will be determined in an methodical manner. This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial in minimizing the potential for assault. HIGH RISK LIST During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list. This list will be provided.to the Lieutenants' office and the Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act out and be in need of medical or psychological attention.

Probable cause, reasonable determination, or reasonable belief means facts and circumstances known to the employee at the time of the use of firearms that would cause a reasonable employee to conclude that the action is appropriate. 701. CARRYING OF FIREARMS. Title 18 U.S.C. § 3050, authorizes the Attorney General to prescribe rules and regulations relating to the carrying of firearms by Bureau officers and employees. This authority is delegated to the Director in 28 CFR 0.96(o). When approved by the Warden, institution staff are permitted to carry firearms when: • hrangnortinn inmatpq, • assigned to escape posts, and • assigned to security posts which require firearms as standard issued equipment. Carrying or the use of personal or privately owned firearms while on duty is prohibited. Post orders, riot plans, and escape plans will include instructions for carrying firearms. a. Duty Assignment. Employees must not be assigned to duties that require the carrying of firearms prior to successfully completing the firearms familiarization training course. b. Staff Qualification. New employees must not be assigned to posts requiring the carrying of firearms before completing the Introduction to Correctional Techniques Training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. In extraordinary circumstances, an exception may be made for an employee who has completed the local firearms familiarization training with written approval of the Warden and Regional Director. c. Re-qualification. Staff must complete satisfactorily the Bureau's approved firearms training course each year. Allowances will be made in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. EFTA00108071 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 2 Chaplains, dentists, physicians, and other positions which the Director specifically exempts from carrying firearms are not required to complete the firearms familiarization training conducted at the institution and Staff Training Academy. d. Other Use of Firearms. Only the Director or Director's designee may authorize, in writing, Bureau staff to carry Government-issued firearms for purposes not expressed in this Program Statement. 702. USE OF FIREARMS. Firearms must be used only when deemed necessary for the following Law Enforcement purposes: • Prevent escapes; • Prevent loss of life or serious physical injury; • Protect government property, upon determination that the damage or loss of property would contribute directly to an escape, loss of life, or serious physical injury; and • Maintain or restore control of a correctional institution. The use of firearms is prohibited if force other than firearms appear reasonably sufficient to accomplish law enforcement purposes. Examples are, but not limited to: • Prevention of escape; • Prevention serious physical injury; and • Restoration of control in a correctional institution. The necessity to use firearms arises when all available means of achieving the law enforcement purpose havie failed or are likely to fail. An employee is not required to jeopardize personal safety or the safety of others before using firearms to prevent serious injuries/bodily harm or death. If use of firearms is deemed necessary, staff must shoot the subject with every intention of hitting "center mass" to ensure the subject is stopped. EFTA00108072 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 3 Staff will not attempt to shoot a limb which creates a lesser chance of stopping the subject and may pose a danger to staff, other inmates, or persons in the community. Firearms must not be used solely to disable moving vehicles or aircraft. Firearms will only be used against the driver or other occupants of a moving vehicle when the: • Employee has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. • Public safety benefits of using such force outweigh the risks to the safety of the employee or others. As soon as practicable, medical attention must be provided to any persons injured during an incident involving use of firearms. —m3 will nct bc usce. if th, ,melaya, a escapee as an inmate sentenced under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. a. Escape Prevention. The use of firearms is authorized when deemed necessary to prevent an escape in the following situations. (1) Perimeter Walls. At institutions secured with perimeter walls, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items that could be used to perpetrate an escape, such as, but not limited to, a ladder, grappling hook, or rope, suggesting an intent to escape. An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. (2) Multiple Perimeter Fences. At institutions secured with multiple perimeter fences, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items such as, but not limited to, a ladder, blankets, grappling hooks, ropes, broom handles, or sticks, that will perpetrate an escape. EFTA00108073 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 4 An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent threat danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. When authorized, throughout this policy, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to self, other staff and inmates, or the community. Warning shots will be fired into the ground and never into the air or in an indiscriminate direction. The inmate is not required to be on the first/inner perimeter fence before the employee issues the warning. When the imitate actually contacts the fitstiinneL petimetet EVHCC ill an attempt to climb or demonstrates an attempt to get on or over the first/inner perimeter fence, and the employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted, the employee may shoot the subject. The employee is not required to wait until the inmate is between the perimeter fences or over the first/inner fences. (3) Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCCs) and Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDCs). When an employee reasonably determines that an escape is being attempted from a MCC or MDC, the employee should give a verbal warning. If the inmate continues, the employee may shoot the subject. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of injury to innocent bystanders. (4) Minimum Security Institutions. Ordinarily, firearms are not used to prevent escapes from minimum security level institutions. However, weapons are authorized when the escaping inmate has used or threatened to use force which is likely to cause serious physical injury or has manifested an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots should be used when feasible. (5) Escapes with Outside Assistance. Firearms may be used against persons who are not inmates, if they are facilitating an escape and have used or threatened to use force which is likely EFTA00108074 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 5 to cause death or serious physical injury against the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots must be used when feasible. (6) Escape from Escorted Trip or Prisoner Transport. When an employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted from an escorted trip or prisoner transport, the employee must issue a verbal warning. If the inmate continues and the escape is occurring within the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee will fire a warning shot, if feasible, prior to shooting the subject. Outside the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee should not fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject due to the possibility of injury to innocent bysLandcL . Absent the use or threat of force which would likely cause serious physical injury or a manifested imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community, it is not permissible to use firearms to prevent an escape of an inmate in transit to or from a minimum security level institution. The exception to the rule is when the escorting employees are transporting inmates at the same time to a minimum and non-minimum security level institutions. (7) Once An Escape Has Occurred. After an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution, and the immediate environs has been successful, employees attempting to apprehend the escaped prisoner may not use firearms unless there is probable cause to believe: (a) The subject has committed a felony involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury or death. (b) The subject's escape would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. Note: The phrase "after an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution and the immediate environs has been effectuated" should be interpreted in the following manner: EFTA00108075 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 6 • As long as a staff member is in continuous pursuit of an escaping inmate, whether the escape takes place from an institution, transport vehicle, or outside facility (such as a hospital), the escape has not yet been effectuated. The use of firearms is permissible under the escaping inmate standard. • The immediate environs of an institution is defined as the property lines of the correctional facility. This boundary may be expanded by the Warden with the Regional Director's concurrence and should be defined as explicitly as possible. A verbal warning should be given if it would not pose a risk of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or others. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of inCo,Lasit 2.13, O6O.14CL.D. b. Prevent the Loss of Life or Serious Physical Injury. Staff may use firearms when reasonable belief exists that the subject poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to staff, inmates, or others. Firearms will be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. In a hostage situation, once it has been contained and attempts to negotiate have begun, only the Warden may order the use of firearms to resolve the hostage situation. Warning shots will not be fired as in an attempt to resolve a hostage situation, nor used to create a diversion. c. Protect Government Property. Firearms may be used to prevent damage to or destruction of Government property when the loss of that property could contribute directly to an escape or attempted escape, serious physical injury, or loss of life. For example, the use of firearms may be necessary when persons are attempting to damage or disable a fire truck during a fire within the institution. If individuals attempt to break into a EFTA00108076 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 7 building where weapons, gas, or other security risk items are stored, firearms may also be used. Firearms must be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff, other inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. d. Maintain or Restore Control of a Correctional Institution. Firearms may be used to maintain or restore control of a correctional institution when the employee reasonably believes the intended subject of the use of firearms is participating in a ULJLLLLuaIl ..v in a mannwi Liacti LilieaLyna Lim JaLCLy ul *Lai , inmates, or the community. Firearms must be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to staff, other inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. 703. ARMED ESCORT BY COMMERCIAL AVIATION. The Warden may authorize staff to carry firearms when transporting an inmate by commercial air carrier. Title 14 CFR Part 108.11, Carriage of Weapons, and Part 108.21, Carriage of Passengers Under the Control of Armed Law Enforcement Escorts (1995), allows law enforcement officials, while performing their duties, to travel while armed. Staff must notify the air carrier prior to departing the institution of the intent to carry firearms. Staff must complete all required forms and provide required information to the carrier. Staff must follow the procedures detailed in the above referenced regulations. EFTA00108077 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 8 When not transporting inmates, Bureau staff, carrying firearms aboard commercial aircraft, must declare this to the carrier and have the weapon placed in checked baggage. The above referenced regulations should be referred to for additional requirements concerning the placement of firearms in checked baggage. 704. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. A written report must be submitted to the Warden upon the discharge of any firearm, privately owned or issued by the Bureau. This rule applies when the employees is on duty and off duty, except for training or recreational purposes. For an incident while on duty, the report must be submitted prior to the end of the employee's duty shift. rcz a.. dtiLy, UAc S. L I0U.7L Loc ouLemiLicd prior to the end of the employee's next duty shift. The discharge of any firearm, once reported, will be investigated and reviewed through the After-Action Reporting and Review processes. 705. IDENTIFICATION BADGES. Upon request, the Correctional Services Administrator, Central Office, will issue Bureau identification badges in leather carrying cases to each institution. The Captain will maintain strict accountability of Bureau badges. Lost or stolen badges must be reported immediately in writing to the Correctional Services Branch, Central Office. Except for tower and perimeter patrols and established stationary check points, staff assigned to duties which require the carrying of firearms will be issued a Bureau identification badge. The badge must be displayed when necessary to establish the staff member's authorization to carry a firearm. Appropriate badge holders will be provided so as to allow the employee the ability to securely attach the badge to his or her outerwear. Badges may not be used as methods of routine identification. Employee procurement or possession of unauthorized badges, either official or duplicated, is prohibited (see the Program Statement on Standards of Employee Conduct). EFTA00108078 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 9 706. NON-DISCLOSURE OF BUREAU STAFF NAMES IN SHOOTING INCIDENTS.

STAFF TRAINING AND ACCOUNTABILITY: All staff (including sick and annual reliefs) assigned to an OC aerosol dispenser post will receive the required training, and go through quarterly re-familiarization training prior to assuming their post each quarter. Training will include, but is not limited to, proper carry and security of an OC aerosol dispenser, use of force policy and the definition between immediate and calculated use of force. These post orders will be read prior to working designated posts or when this cannot be accomplished, the shift Lieutenant must be notified immediately. The Operations Lieutenant will ensure staff have read, understand and signed the post orders. Staff will be held responsible for guidance outlined in national and local policies, post orders, position descriptions, and general guidance issued related to posts designated with an OC aerosol dispenser. Officers and Lieutenants who have not received OC specialty training are not authorized to carry an OC aerosol dispenser. If you believe you need additional training or unfamiliar with the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant immediately. USE OF FORCE/EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS A post assigned with an OC aerosol dispenser is in addition to emergency response plans already in place. Local written procedures will continue to be in effect and the OC aerosol dispenser is an enhancement in staff and inmate safety, included in these post orders. These procedures will outline steps to be taken in case immediate force is required as a result of a serious assault, recreation yard incidents, or other serious incidents during all shifts. Trained officers can use immediate force without the presents of a supervisor. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 1 of 14 EFTA00108100 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK SPECIAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Once you have assumed your position/post, check the OC aerosol dispenser, along with the other equipment assigned to the post, for any defects. In the event there are defects or leakage to the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant and/or the Security Officer, and document in TRUSCOPE program any defects noted. In the event of an accidental discharge, decontaminate yourself and notify the Operations Lieutenant. Once you have decontaminated yourself with soap and water and notified the Operations Lieutenant, decontaminate the affected area with soap and water, and ventilation if possible. The usage of an OC aerosol dispenser must be limited to the performance of official duties only. Staff are again reminded that use of the OC aerosol dispenser outside established policies and procedures will result in staff disciplinary action. The preferred method of resolution is through verbal intervention. However, the safety of staff and inmates in any dangerous encounter is paramount and may require the use of an OC aerosol dispenser. Staff may use the necessary amount of force only as a last alternative after all other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have failed. Staff may use the necessary amount of force to gain control of the inmate, to protect and ensure the safety of inmates, staff and others, to prevent serious property damage, and to ensure institution security and good order. The OC aerosol dispenser must be carried in an approved holder, leather/nylon belt loop holster, specifically designed to hold an OC aerosol dispenser. No other method of carrying the OC aerosol dispenser is authorized, i.e., cargo pocket. The full cone spray has an effective range of 10 to 12 feet but should not be used closer than 4 feet. In the event the OC aerosol dispenser is required the following steps should be used: 1. Fingers of the drawing hand should be extended and firmly gripping the aerosol dispenser. 2. Staff should assume an appropriate defensive stance and continue with verbal commands. 3. Place thumb on the actuator.

Spray the facial area, specifically the eyes, delivering one two-second burst. Once the OC aerosol spray has been dispensed, staff should step back to avoid being contaminated by the spray and maintain direct supervision of the inmate(s). Continue with verbal commands. 5. Allow the OC aerosol spray to work while providing verbal commands to the inmate (e.g., lay face down with arms spread). 6. Evaluate the response of the inmate(s). If the inmate(s) does not submit to restraints and/or comply with staff orders within 15 seconds, a second two-second burst is authorized. After a second assessment, or if the inmate(s) has not complied with staff commands, alternative methods to control the situation may be pursued. 7. Decontamination procedures include fresh air and the use of soap and water within 15 minutes, or as soon as possible, after OC aerosol spray has been applied. Normally, this is done before the medical assessment. 8. Once the OC aerosol spray is used and the inmate(s) is in restraints, Health Services staff will be notified immediately. A medical assessment will be performed to determine if the inmate(s) sustained any injuries. 9. When an immediate use of force is necessary (e.g., involving serious bodily harm, etc.), staff are obligated to obtain a camera and begin recording the event as soon as it is feasible. As soon as control of the situation has been obtained staff must record information on: circumstances that required the need for immediate use of force; identification of the inmate(s); injuries; and staff, and others involved. (See PS 5566.06, Use of Force and Application of Restraints). A reasonable correctional workers perception of the events would govern the use of the OC aerosol dispenser in situations which require an immediate response to an emergency situation. The Warden should be notified as soon as possible after any such use. Documentation is to be submitted in accordance with the Program Statement Use of Force and Application of Restraints.

One of the chief duties of the Chief Correctional Supervisor is to establish a formalized plan of inspections that will cover every part of the institution at least once a week. In general, these inspections include doors, locking devices, fire extinguishers, grills, windows, building walls, perimeter walls, etc. Inspections are required even if no discrepancies are found the day prior. All staff will conduct inspections within their area of responsibility for contraband and security violations. The staff will report any discrepancies to the OPS LT, and prepare a Minor Work Request to correct the concern. Staff responsible for their department will initial the security inspection form located by the control centers indicating they have checked their area of responsibility. SEARCHING INMATES: The human body can serve as a potential hiding place for contraband. For that reason, it may become necessary to strip and search an inmate at various times. Further information regarding the proper techniques for searching an individual can be found in institution policy and the Correctional Services Manual. In order to prevent the introduction of contraband, routine and unscheduled searches of inmate's person, housing units, work areas, or other facilities used or frequented by inmates must be conducted. This will include thorough searches of inmate's clothing, personal property at the time of admission; searches of inmate's person and quarters when it is suspected he/she is concealing contraband; his/her place of work, recreation areas on a routine or unscheduled basis as directed by supervising personnel. Such searches may be initiated on an individual inmate basis, or mass searches may be ordered when contraband is suspected of being in the possession of unknown individuals. Pat Searches: Pat searches will be conducted on a routine basis solely as a means to control contraband. Before a pat search is conducted, the inmate will be asked to remove any head gear and the contents out of his/her pockets. The head gear and personal effects will be inspected after removal and placed out of reach from the inmate. Male and female inmates will be pat searched in the same manner, with the exception of the chest area. A staff member will search the female inmate's chest area using the back of the hand. Pat searches of the male inmate and the rest of the female inmate will be done with the inside, (palm and fingers), of the hand. The pat search will be conducted according to the procedure described on the approved Bureau pat search video tape.

Contraband may be best defined as any item or article inside the institution that was not issued by the institution, purchased in the commissary, purchased through approved channels, or approved by an appropriate staff member. All contraband seized must be placed in the log book in the Lieutenants' Office listing item, date and inmate. When money is confiscated, the appropriate receipt, available from the control center and/or ISM must be utilized. All coin and any currency is to be confiscated and duly recorded. During regular duty hours, contraband funds along with the confiscation forms are taken to the Cashiers Office. During non-duty hours, the confiscated funds and accompanying form will be placed in the night depository, located in the control center, until the next regular working day. Contraband, other than money, should be recorded on the Confiscation and Disposition of Contraband form and should accompany the confiscated articles. SEARCHING INMATE LIVING QUARTERS: When making a search of an inmate's living quarters, each officer should make sure that nothing is destroyed in the process. Officers should make every effort to return all articles to their place, excepting things which are determined to be contraband and are removed. COMBINATION LOCKS: Inmates are authorized to purchase combination locks from the commissary for individual use. The key ways are not to be plugged; any lock having a plugged key way will be considered contraband and will be seized as contraband CIM (SEPARATIONS) All inmate movement in MCC New York is supervised by staff members. There are serious security and safety concerns regarding the inmates housed in MCC New York and their CIMS status. An inmate's CIMS status is confidential and will not be shared with any inmate(s). The unit separations roster is a sensitive, confidential item which must be safeguarded at all times. The various inmate programs at MCC New York are scheduled by floors. This has been arranged to provide the inmates with a safe and secure environment during the appropriate program. This also alleviates the CIMS concerns for each program.

The Unit Officer will check the unit separations roster to ascertain if the inmate's name appears on the roster. If the inmate's name does not appear on the roster, the inmate is cleared to be escorted off of the unit. If the inmate's name does appear on the separations roster, the Unit Officer must clear the inmate prior to allowing the inmate to be escorted off of the unit. Inmates must be properly cleared by the Unit Officer and requesting staff member prior to any escort. The requesting staff member must clear all inmate movement to their area with the C&A Officer at extension 5123. The C&A Officer must clear the inmate prior to the inmate departing from his/her assigned housing unit. The Unit Officer must also clear the inmate with the C&A Officer prior to allowing any inmate to depart from the unit. Even though, the Hospital Officer or the Visiting Room may be clearing the inmate(s), it is the Unit Officer's ultimate responsibility to ensure the inmate has been properly cleared. The Unit Officer must review the Unit Separations roster and check for the inmate's name and register number on the roster. If the inmate's name does not appear, the inmate is cleared for movement, and you do not need to contact the C&A Officer. If the inmate's name does appear on the Separations roster, the Unit Officer must contact the C&A Officer at extension 6468 and clear the inmate prior to allowing the inmate to depart from the unit. Inmates must be properly identified and pat searched prior to departing from the housing unit. Every inmate must carry on their person the institution identification card. This is the means staff utilize to properly identify the inmate. It is the Unit Officer's responsibility to ensure the inmate has his/her identification card on his/her person prior to departing from the unit. The number of inmates escorted at one time on the elevator is directly related to the number of staff available to conduct the escort. One staff member can escort ten (10) inmates in the elevator at one time. Anything more than ten(10), inmates in the elevator causes security and safety concerns. During Inmate Visiting, the Intern Officers and the Activities Officers will assist the Visiting Officers in escorting inmates to and from the Visiting Rooms.

Anytime In-Custody inmates are escorted through the connecting link, two staff members must be present for the escort. One staff member positioned at the front of the escort, and the second staff member positioned to the rear of the escort. When an inmate is being escorted to or from the Special Housing Unit, two staff members must be present for the escort. A ratio of 2:1 will always be maintained when escorting inmates to or from the Special Housing Unit. ENTRANCE PROCEDURES: COVERAGE AND METHODS: Entrance procedures include the control of inmates, employees, visitors or commercial traffic entering the institution. Because of the need for a broad knowledge of the institution and its function, along with a thorough understanding of security requirements, only those officers with such knowledge will normally be staffing these posts. Constant contact with the public requires that these officers display a neatness of appearance, ability to handle people, tactfulness in enforcing regulations and alertness in recognizing security hazards. OUTSIDE INMATE DETAILS: During normal duty hours, all outside inmate details, (Warehouse, Building 4, Admin Orderlies, etc.,), will depart from the institution through the Rear Gate. The inmates must be escorted from the unit by the detail supervisor, using the inmate elevator. The inmates must be properly identified, one detail at a time, by the Internal Officer, in the elevator sally port, utilizing the approved gate passes. Once the inmates have been positively identified, the Rear Gate Officer will request for the door leading through the 1st floor sally port to the rear dock. The detail will be further processed by the Rear Gate Officer. All required information will be recorded in the TRUSCOPE program. Any work performed in the Rear Gate is considered outside of the secured perimeter. This means any area on the rear dock to include, Warehouse, and Trash Compactor. The Rear Gate Officer will positively identify and properly process the inmate detail into Rear Sally Port to perform their assigned work. If needed after normal duty hours, weekends and federal holidays, the inmate details will be processed through the Control Center the Operations Lieutenant will designate a staff member to positively identify the detail, in the elevator sally port, utilizing the approved gate passes.

The employee who places an inmate on call-out must ensure the requested inmate arrives at the specified time. If the inmate does not arrive as scheduled, the requesting staff member shall contact the staff member responsible for the inmate's accountability. If the inmate(s) is/are found to be in an area other than the assigned callout area, it is the responsibility of the staff member(s) or department that has placed the inmate(s) on call-out to prepare an incident report for the inmate's failure to report to call-out. If efforts to locate the inmate fail, the inmate shall be immediately reported to the shift lieutenant as missing and appropriate action initiated to locate the inmate. CELL ASSIGNMENT - SEXUAL OFFENDER/PROTECTIVE CUSTODY Cell assignments will be determined in an methodical manner. This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial in minimizing the potential for assault. HIGH RISK LIST During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list. This list will be provided to the Lieutenants' office and the Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act out and be in need of medical or psychological attention.

SUICIDE PREVENTION INFORMATION BOP HIGH RISK GROUPS • New Inmates - The first few hours and days after admission can be critical. Newly incarcerated inmates may experience feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, agitation, depression, relationship problems, legal concerns, hopelessness, and helplessness, which can contribute to increased suicide risk. • Protective Custody - Inmates who volunteer to enter protective custody are at high risk for suicide, especially during the first 72 hours in SHU. These inmates should be referred to psychology services immediately. • Long-term Protective Custody Inmates - These inmates are particularly vulnerable to depression that can lead to a suicide attempt, and should be monitored closely while they are in SHU. • Inmates Taking Medication for Mental Health Reasons - These inmates are vulnerable to developing suicidal thoughts and attempting suicide by overdosing on their medication. Inmates on medication should be monitored to make sure they are not hoarding medication. Any signs of distress, deterioration in hygiene, or sudden changes in behavior should be reported to psychology. FACTORS THAT CAN INCREASE THE PROBABILITY THAT AN INMATE MAY BECOME SUICIDAL: Mental Health Factors History of mental illness 1. Is the inmate depressed, actively psychotic? 2. Has the inmate been compliant with psychotropic medication? 3. Have there been changes in eating, sleeping, hygiene, weight, recreation, activity level? Prior suicide attempt 1. How lethal was the attempt? 2. How many attempts have been made?

Does the inmate have a chronic life threatening medical illness? 2. Has the inmate's overall health diminished recently? 3. Is the inmate experiencing pain or other negative symptoms? Relationship Difficulties 1. Has the inmate received a Dear John letter? 2. Have communications and or visits decreased? 3. Has there been a change in the relationship? Situational Factors 1. Legal issues - pending indictment; loss of appeal to reduce sentence. 2. Difficulties with staff or other inmates. 3. Gambling debts, drugs. 4. Ending of a close relationship with another inmate. 5. Possible victim of a sexual assault. REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING INMATE BEHAVIOR Report Your Concerns: Any inmate behavior(s) that is questionable and may reflect a change in mental health status should be reported to the Shift Lieutenant immediately. During non-working hours: Inform the Shift Lieutenant of any questionable inmate behavior. He/she will determine if the on-call psychologist needs to be contacted. Segregation Log Book: Any changes in inmate behaviors should be noted in the TRUSCOPE program. A detailed note regarding the observed behavior is advisable. Documenting in the TRUSCOPE program serves two purposes. First, the entry serves as a means of communication for other staff members. Second, it provides an accurate account of activity during your shift. Documentation should be neat, legible, and professional. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 23 of 29 EFTA00108136 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST RESPONDING TO A SUICIDE EMERGENCY A Segregation Officer observing an inmate in the act of committing suicide, causing other self-injurious behavior, or who appears to have committed suicide will call for back-up before entering the cell. The officer will notify the Control Center and the Lieutenant's Office by radio of the situation and request immediate back-up. BACK-UP MUST BE PRESENT IN ORDER TO ENTER A CELL. The "cut- down" tool is located in the storage closet on a shadow board. It is the #1 officer's responsibility to locate this item at the start of the shift. This tool is only authorized to be used in emergency situations. Miscellaneous use of this tool is not permitted and will result in dulling the blade of the tool. In the event an inmate commits suicide, the scene of the suicide will be treated in a manner consistent with the investigation of an inmate death. All measures necessary to preserve and document the evidence needed to support subsequent investigations will be maintained or otherwise adequately recorded. SEXUAL ASSAULT PROTOCOL Reporting In all cases of reported sexually abusive behaviors (e.g., from alleged victim, staff, and/or "third party") the following will occur: The Operations Lieutenant will be notified immediately and he/she will: • Immediately safeguard the inmate (which will vary depending on the severity of the alleged sexually abusive behavior and could range from monitoring the situation, changing housing assignments, changing work assignment, placing alleged victim and perpetrator in Special Housing, etc.); • Promptly refer all inmates reported or suspected of being the victim of sexually abusive behavior to Psychology Services for assessment of vulnerability and treatment needs; • During business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, and Warden are notified; and During non-business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, Duty Officer, and the on-call Psychologist are notified. • The Program Coordinator will review the psychological assessment and other relevant factors and make a determination as to whether or not to proceed with the full activation of the Response Protocol. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 24 of 29 EFTA00108137 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Responding Not all allegations of sexually abusive behavior will require full activation of the Response Protocol. In some cases, the Program Coordinator will determine that there is not sufficient reason to proceed (e.g., the alleged victim credibly recanted; the alleged perpetrator was not in the institution on the date of the allegation, the inmates involved independently report a non-coercive sexual encounter, etc.) and the Response Protocol may be terminated. In cases where more information is needed, or in cases where there is a credible and serious allegation or instance of sexually abusive behavior, the full Response Protocol will be implemented. Once the Program Coordinator determines that the intervention should continue, a sensitive and coordinated response is necessary. Services will be provided in an environment that meets both security and therapeutic needs. The full Response Protocol, monitored by the Program Coordinator, involves the following components: Protection All appropriate staff will consult and determine the actions to be taken to prevent further sexually abusive behavior both to the alleged victim (e.g. change in work assignments, change in housing assignment, closer supervision, protective custody, transfer, etc.) and/or by the alleged perpetrator (e.g., remove from compound, change housing assignment, etc.). The Captain will ensure that a STG category of "V SA UNV" is entered into SENTRY, and in instances where an inmate perpetrator is alleged, will enter the STG category of "P SA UNV" for that inmate (See Section 13.b. for further details). PSYCHOLOGICAL: Psychology staff are responsible for crisis intervention, assessment of treatment needs, documentation of the evaluation results, treatment, psychiatric referral, and/or other treatment options related to the alleged victim. In addition, Psychology staff provide guidance to Unit Management and Community Corrections staff regarding an inmate's post-release mental health needs. Inmate perpetrators (or alleged perpetrators) of sexually abusive behaviors will be referred by the Operations Lieutenant to Psychology Services. Inmates considered high-risk for sexual re-offending may be referred to specialty treatment and/or management programs, individual or group counseling, or may be managed through standard correctional techniques. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 25 of 29 EFTA00108138 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST If an inmate perpetrator is determined in need of treatment services and refuses treatment, Psychology Services staff will document the refusal and place it in the medical section of the Inmate Central File and notify the referring staff of the refusal. Documentation of treatment compliance or refusal ensures continuity of care within, between, and outside the Bureau. Examination Medical staff are responsible for examination, documentation, and treatment of inmate injuries arising from sexually abusive behaviors, including testing when appropriate for pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Where indicated, medical staff, trained in the collection of sexual assault evidence (i.e., "rape kit") should conduct an examination for physical evidence which may be used later in formal investigations. At institutions where Health Services staff are neither trained nor certified in sexual assault evidence gathering, the inmate will be examined at the institution by trained health care professionals from the local community or at the local community facility equipped (in accordance with local laws) to evaluate and treat sexual assault victims. Prophylactic treatment and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases will be offered to all inmate victims, as appropriate. Whenever an inmate is referred to Health Services for examination and treatment of injuries related to sexually abusive behavior, staff will encourage the inmate victim to complete an Inmate Injury Assessment and Follow-up form (BP-S362) as required by the Program Statement on Patient Care. Investigation In cases where the full Response Protocol is activated, staff are trained to investigate allegations of sexually abusive behavior thoroughly. The information concerning the identity of the alleged inmate victim and the specific facts of the case are limited to those staff who need-to-know because of their involvement with the victim's welfare and the investigation of the incident. This is important not only to preserve the victim's privacy but also to preserve maximum flexibility to investigate the allegations. Initial Notifications: Upon activating the full Response Protocol, the investigation phase is initiated and the following notification(s) will be made: Inmate Perpetrator on Inmate Victim: In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against another inmate, the Special Investigative Agent (or SIS) will be notified immediately. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 26 of 29 EFTA00108139 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Staff Perpetrator on Inmate Victim: In the event that a staff member is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against an inmate, the Warden will be notified immediately. The Warden will notify the Regional Director and the Office of Internal Affairs (OIA), who will in turn notify the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and when appropriate, will notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Inmate Perpetrator on Staff Victim: In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against a staff member, the SIA/SIS will be contacted immediately with follow-up notification to the Warden. Crime Scene Preservation: The staff first responder will preserve the crime scene. SIS staff will be responsible for collecting information/evidence. The investigation, in coordination with the agency to which the case may be referred, will follow the guidance given in the Special Investigative Supervisor's Manual that outlines gathering and processing procedures. Physical Evidence Collection: When there is a report of a recent Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, or there is a strong suspicion that a recent, serious assault may have been sexual in nature, a thorough physical examination of the alleged victim - to include a "rape kit" will be completed immediately. Physical evidence collection may also include an examination of, and collection of physical evidence from the suspected perpetrator(s). After Action Reviews of Violent Sexual Assaults: Following any incident of Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, the Warden, Program Coordinator, Chief of Correctional Services, Health Services Administrator, and Chief Psychologist will meet and review the incident. This review is to assess the reasonableness of the actions of staff following the incident, to ensure the security and treatment needs of the inmate victim have been addressed adequately and the management and investigation of the inmate or staff perpetrator is progressing appropriately. Within two working days after the initial reporting of the Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, a written report highlighting the relevant facts should be produced and the Warden or designee will personally attest by his or her signature that the review has taken place and that the steps taken by staff were either appropriate or inappropriate. A copy of this report will be forwarded to the Regional Director. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 27 of 29 EFTA00108140 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Consideration for staff impacted by the incident is necessary. Arrangements for debriefing affected staff and referral to appropriate services to mitigate the stress associated with these events should be offered. Administrative Disciplinary Process and Prosecution: In keeping with this "zero tolerance" policy, perpetrators of sexually abusive behavior will be disciplined and/or referred for prosecution. Tracking Sexually Abusive Behavior: Tracking and analyzing the incidents of sexually abusive behavior are critical to the safety and management of inmates and the security of all Bureau facilities. Monitoring these incidents allows the Bureau to assess the effectiveness of current policy and procedures in regard to the extent of sexual victimization. To ensure full and accurate reporting and analysis, the SIS will maintain secure investigative files which include data on: • The victim(s) and perpetrator(s) of sexually abusive behavior; • Crime characteristics; • Formal and/or informal action(s) taken; • All collateral reports, supporting memoranda, and videotapes; • Medical forms; and • Any other evidentiary materials pertaining to the allegation. The Office of Internal Affairs will report the cumulated data on the inmate victims of staff and inmate sexually abusive behavior to all Chief Executive Officers and the Psychology Services Administrator at the end of each quarter and at the end of each fiscal year. SUICIDAL SITUATION IN SHU OR THE HOUSING UNITS: If you are the first person to notice an inmate hanging, you should call for staff assistance (Operations Lieutenant & Control Center)and remain calm and wait until sufficient staff and Lieutenant arrive prior to handcuffing the inmate=s cell mate(s) (if applicable) and unlocking the cell door. If feasible, obtain protective equipment from the above mentioned areas. Cut the inmate down, protecting the head and neck area. Always administer life- saving procedures.

Probable cause, reasonable determination, or reasonable belief means facts and circumstances known to the employee at the time of the use of firearms that would cause a reasonable employee to conclude that the action is appropriate. 701. CARRYING OF FIREARMS. Title 18 U.S.C. § 3050, authorizes the Attorney General to prescribe rules and regulations relating to the carrying of firearms by Bureau officers and employees. This authority is delegated to the Director in 28 CFR 0.96(o). When approved by the Warden, institution staff are permitted to carry firearms when: • transporting inmates, • assigned to escape posts, and • assigned to security posts which require firearms as standard issued equipment. Carrying or the use of personal or privately owned firearms while on duty is prohibited. Post orders, riot plans, and escape plans will include instructions for carrying firearms. a. Duty Assignment. Employees must not be assigned to duties that require the carrying of firearms prior to successfully completing the firearms familiarization training course. b. Staff Qualification. New employees must not be assigned to posts requiring the carrying of firearms before completing the Introduction to Correctional Techniques Training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training 'Center. In extraordinary circumstances, an exception may be made for an employee who has completed the local firearms familiarization training with written approval of the Warden and Regional Director. c. Re-qualification. Staff must complete satisfactorily the Bureau's approved firearms training course each year. Allowances will be made in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. EFTA00108144 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 2 Chaplains, dentists, physicians, and other positions which the Director specifically exempts from carrying firearms are not required to complete the firearms familiarization training conducted at the institution and Staff Training Academy. d. Other Use of Firearms. Only the Director or Director's designee may authorize, in writing, Bureau staff to carry Government-issued firearms for purposes not expressed in this Program Statement. 702. USE OF FIREARMS. Firearms must be used only when deemed necessary for the following Law Enforcement purposes: • Prevent escapes; • Prevent loss of life or serious physical injury; • Protect government property, upon determination that the damage or loss of property would contribute directly to an escape, loss of life, or serious physical injury; and • Maintain or restore control of a correctional institution. The use of firearms is prohibited if force other than firearms appear reasonably sufficient to accomplish law enforcement purposes. Examples are, but not limited to: • Prevention of escape; • Prevention serious physical injury; and • Restoration of control in a correctional institution. The necessity to use firearms arises when all available means of achieving the law enforcement purpose have failed or are likely to fail. An employee is not required to jeopardize personal safety or the safety of others before using firearms to prevent serious injuries/bodily harm or death. If use of firearms is deemed necessary, staff must shoot the subject with every intention of hitting "center mass" to ensure the subject is stopped. EFTA00108145 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 3 Staff will not attempt to shoot a limb which creates a lesser chance of stopping the subject and may pose a danger to staff, other inmates, or persons in the community. Firearms must not be used solely to disable moving vehicles or aircraft. Firearms will only be used against the driver or other occupants of a moving vehicle when the: • Employee has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. • Public safety benefits of using such force outweigh the risks to the safety of the employee or others. As soon as practicable, medical attention must be provided to any persons injured during an incident involving use of firearms.

The use of firearms is authorized when deemed necessary to prevent an escape in the following situations. (1) Perimeter Walls. At institutions secured with perimeter walls, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items that could be used to perpetrate an escape, such as, but not limited to, a ladder, grappling hook, or rope, suggesting an intent to escape. An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. (2) Multiple Perimeter Fences. At institutions secured with multiple perimeter fences, prior to using firearms, staff must reasonably believe that an inmate has the capability to escape. For example, the inmate may be carrying items such as, but not limited to, a ladder, blankets, grappling hooks, ropes, broom handles, or sticks, that will perpetrate an escape. EFTA00108146 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 4 An employee who determines an escape is in progress must issue a verbal warning, then fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent threat danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. When authorized, throughout this policy, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to self, other staff and inmates, or the community. Warning shots will be fired into the ground and never into the air or in an indiscriminate direction. The inmate is not required to be on the first/inner perimeter fence before the employee issues the warning. When the inmaLe aLLually %-ystLe...La the peiLiic,etez fence In an attempt to climb or demonstrates an attempt to get on or over the first/inner perimeter fence, and the employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted, the employee may shoot the subject. The employee is not required to wait until the inmate is between the perimeter fences or over the first/inner fences. (3) Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCCs) and Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDCs). When an employee reasonably determines that an escape is being attempted from a MCC or MDC, the employee should give a verbal warning. If the inmate continues, the employee may shoot the subject. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of injury to innocent bystanders. (4) Minimum Security Institutions. Ordinarily, firearms are not used to prevent escapes from minimµm security level institutions. However, weapons are authorized when the escaping inmate has used or threatened to use force which is likely to cause serious physical injury or has manifested an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots should be used when feasible. (5) Escapes with Outside Assistance. Firearms may be used against persons who are not inmates, if they are facilitating an escape and have used or threatened to use force which is likely EFTA00108147 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 5 to cause death or serious physical injury against the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots must be used when feasible. (6) Escape from Escorted Trip or Prisoner Transport. When an employee reasonably determines an escape is being attempted from an escorted trip or prisoner transport, the employee must issue a verbal warning. If the inmate continues and the escape is occurring within the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee will fire a warning shot, if feasible, prior to shooting the subject. Outside the immediate environs of a correctional institution, the employee should not fire a warning shot prior to shooting the subject due to the possibility of injury to innocent iay Laildeta. Absent the use or threat of force which would likely cause serious physical injury or a manifested imminent threat of death or serious physical injury to the employee, other staff and inmates, or the community, it is not permissible to use firearms to prevent an escape of an inmate in transit to or from a minimum security level institution. The exception to the rule is when the escorting employees are transporting inmates at the same time to a minimum and non-minimum security level institutions. (7) Once An Escape Has Occurred. After an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution, and the immediate environs has been successful, employees attempting to apprehend the escaped prisoner may not use firearms unless there is probable cause to believe: (a) The subject has committed a felony involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury or death. (b) The subject's escape would pose an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the employee or others. Note: The phrase "after an escape from a transport vehicle or an institution and the immediate environs has been effectuated" should be interpreted in the following manner: EFTA00108148 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 6 • As long as a staff member is in continuous pursuit of an escaping inmate, whether the escape takes place from an institution, transport vehicle, or outside facility (such as a hospital), the escape has not yet been effectuated. The use of firearms is permissible under the escaping inmate standard. • The immediate environs of an institution is defined as the property lines of the correctional facility. This boundary may be expanded by the Warden with the Regional Director's concurrence and should be defined as explicitly as possible. A verbal warning should be given if it would not pose a risk of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or others. Warning shots are prohibited due to the possibility of . . sasju.Ly snnv•-ocaLL vyas-anucs0. b. Prevent the Loss of Life or Serious Physical Injury. Staff may use firearms when reasonable belief exists that the subject poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to staff, inmates, or others. Firearms will be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff and inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. In a hostage situation, once it has been contained and attempts to negotiate have begun, only the Warden may order the use of firearms to resolve the hostage situation. Warning shots will not be fired as in an attempt to resolve a hostage situation, nor used to create a diversion. c. Protect Government Property. Firearms may be used to prevent damage to or destruction of Government property when the loss of that property could contribute directly to an escape or attempted escape, serious physical injury, or loss of life. For example, the use of firearms may be necessary when persons are attempting to damage or disable a fire truck during a fire within the institution. If individuals attempt to break into a EFTA00108149 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 7 building where weapons, gas, or other security risk items are stored, firearms may also be used. Firearms must be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to other staff, other inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. d. Maintain or Restore Control of a Correctional Institution. Firearms may be used to maintain or restore control of a correctional institution when the employee reasonably believes the intended subject of the use of firearms is participating in a ♦L. WS 04w4ASS, W“LC.A. inmates, or the community. Firearms must be used in the same manner as for escapes; verbal warnings and warning shots should be given, when feasible, prior to shooting the subject. When authorized, warning shots should be used only if there is no apparent danger to staff, other inmates, or the community. Verbal warnings and warning shots are not required when the employee reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to self or others. 703. ARMED ESCORT BY COMMERCIAL AVIATION. The Warden may authorize staff to carry firearms when transporting an inmate by commercial air carrier. Title 14 CFR Part 108.11, Carriage of Weapons, and Part 108.21, Carriage of Passengers Under the Control of Armed Law Enforcement Escorts (1995), allows law enforcement officials, while performing their duties, to travel while armed. Staff must notify the air carrier prior to departing the institution of the intent to carry firearms. Staff must complete all required forms and provide required information to the carrier. Staff must follow the procedures detailed in the above referenced regulations. EFTA00108150 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 8 When not transporting inmates, Bureau staff, carrying firearms aboard commercial aircraft, must declare this to the carrier and have the weapon placed in checked baggage. The above referenced regulations should be referred to for additional requirements concerning the placement of firearms in checked baggage. 704. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. A written report must be submitted to the Warden upon the discharge of any firearm, privately owned or issued by the Bureau. This rule applies when the employees is on duty and off duty, except for training or recreational purposes. • For an incident while on duty, the report must be submitted prior to the end of the employee's duty shift. Lwr an inclacnu wuiic Ji S. %iu ty, tl-La ZepGIL MUoi- ado prior to the end of the employee's next duty shift. The discharge of any firearm, once reported, will be investigated and reviewed through the After-Action Reporting and Review processes. 705. IDENTIFICATION BADGES. Upon request, the Correctional Services Administrator, Central Office, will issue Bureau identification badges in leather carrying cases to each institution. The Captain will maintain strict accountability of Bureau badges. Lost or stolen badges must be reported immediately in writing to the Correctional Services Branch, Central Office. Except for tower and perimeter patrols and established stationary check points, staff assigned to duties which require the carrying of firearms will be issued a Bureau identification badge. The badge must be displayed when necessary to establish the staff member's authorization to carry a firearm. Appropriate badge holders will be provided so as to allow the employee the ability to securely attach the badge to his or her outerwear. Badges may not be used as methods of routine identification. Employee procurement or possession of unauthorized badges, either official or duplicated, is prohibited (see the Program Statement on Standards of Employee Conduct). EFTA00108151 PS 5500.14 10/19/2012 Chapter 7, Page 9 706. NON-DISCLOSURE OF BUREAU STAFF NAMES IN SHOOTING INCIDENTS.

IF YOU ARE ASSIGNED A POST THAT REQUIRES YOU TO CARRY THE MK-4 PEPPER SPRAY AND YOU ARE NOT TRAINED OR QUARTERLY RE-CERTIFIED IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFTY THE OPERATIONS LIEUTENANT PRIOR TO ASSUMING THE POST. STAFF TRAINING AND ACCOUNTABILITY: All staff (including sick and annual reliefs) assigned to an OC aerosol dispenser post will receive the required training, and go through quarterly re-familiarization training prior to assuming their post each quarter. Training will include, but is not limited to, proper carry and security of an OC aerosol dispenser, use of force policy and the definition between immediate and calculated use of force. These post orders will be read prior to working designated posts or when this cannot be accomplished, the shift Lieutenant must be notified immediately. The Operations Lieutenant will ensure staff have read, understand and signed the post orders. Staff will be held responsible for guidance outlined in national and local policies, post orders, position descriptions, and general guidance issued related to posts designated with an OC aerosol dispenser. Officers and Lieutenants who have not received OC specialty training are not authorized to carry an OC aerosol dispenser. If you believe you need additional training or unfamiliar with the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant immediately. USE OF FORCE/EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS A post assigned with an OC aerosol dispenser is in addition to emergency response plans already in place. Local written procedures will continue to be in effect and the OC aerosol dispenser is an enhancement in staff and inmate safety, included in these post orders. These procedures will outline steps to be taken in case immediate force is required as a result of a serious assault, recreation yard incidents, or other serious incidents during all shifts. Trained officers can use immediate force without the presents of a supervisor. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 1 of 14 EFTA00108171 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK SPECIAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Once you have assumed your position/post, check the OC aerosol dispenser, along with the other equipment assigned to the post, for any defects. In the event there are defects or leakage to the OC aerosol dispenser, notify the Operations Lieutenant and/or the Security Officer, and document in TRUSCOPE program any defects noted. In the event of an accidental discharge, decontaminate yourself and notify the Operations Lieutenant. Once you have decontaminated yourself with soap and water and notified the Operations Lieutenant, decontaminate the affected area with soap and water, and ventilation if possible. The usage of an OC aerosol dispenser must be limited to the performance of official duties only. Staff are again reminded that use of the OC aerosol dispenser outside established policies and procedures will result in staff disciplinary action. The preferred method of resolution is through verbal intervention. However, the safety of staff and inmates in any dangerous encounter is paramount and may require the use of an OC aerosol dispenser. Staff may use the necessary amount of force only as a last alternative after all other reasonable efforts to resolve the situation have failed. Staff may use the necessary amount of force to gain control of the inmate, to protect and ensure the safety of inmates, staff and others, to prevent serious property damage, and to ensure institution security and good order. The OC aerosol dispenser must be carried in an approved holder, leather/nylon belt loop holster, specifically designed to hold an OC aerosol dispenser. No other method of carrying the OC aerosol dispenser is authorized, i.e., cargo pocket. The full cone spray has an effective range of 10 to 12 feet but should not be used closer than 4 feet. In the event the OC aerosol dispenser is required the following steps should be used: 1. Fingers of the drawing hand should be extended and firmly gripping the aerosol dispenser. 2. Staff should assume an appropriate defensive stance and continue with verbal commands. 3. Place thumb on the actuator.

Spray the facial area, specifically the eyes, delivering one two-second burst. Once the OC aerosol spray has been dispensed, staff should step back to avoid being contaminated by the spray and maintain direct supervision of the inmate(s). Continue with verbal commands. 5. Allow the OC aerosol spray to work while providing verbal commands to the inmate (e.g., lay face down with arms spread). 6. Evaluate the response of the inmate(s). If the inmate(s) does not submit to restraints and/or comply with staff orders within 15 seconds, a second two-second burst is authorized. After a second assessment, or if the inmate(s) has not complied with staff commands, alternative methods to control the situation may be pursued. 7. Decontamination procedures include fresh air and the use of soap and water within 15 minutes, or as soon as possible, after OC aerosol spray has been applied. Normally, this is done before the medical assessment. 8. Once the OC aerosol spray is used and the inmate(s) is in restraints, Health Services staff will be notified immediately. A medical assessment will be performed to determine if the inmate(s) sustained any injuries. 9. When an immediate use of force is necessary (e.g., involving serious bodily harm, etc.), staff are obligated to obtain a camera and begin recording the event as soon as it is feasible. As soon as control of the situation has been obtained staff must record information on: circumstances that required the need for immediate use of force; identification of the inmate(s); injuries; and staff, and others involved. (See PS 5566.06, Use of Force and Application of Restraints). A reasonable correctional workers perception of the events would govern the use of the OC aerosol dispenser in situations which require an immediate response to an emergency situation. The Warden should be notified as soon as possible after any such use. Documentation is to be submitted in accordance with the Program Statement Use of Force and Application of Restraints.

Only the "general area," e.g., specific unit, can be determined by the Control Center when this alarm is used. Officers will not tamper with or attempt to repair the transmitter units. The body alarm tests will be conducted in the following manner. The Control Center Officer will contact the staff member with the body alarm advising them that a body alarm test is being conducted. The Control Room Officer will verify the body alarm number and direct the staff member to activate the body alarm by depressing the red button located at the top of the unit. Once the test has been successful the Control Room Officer will advise the staff member that the test was a good test, and advise them to clear the alarm and conduct a radio test. After performing this procedure the unit is now ready to receive radio transmissions and send an alarm to summon staff assistance if needed.

If an individual is relieved from a post that is assigned a body alarm, the relieving officer will be given the body alarm to carry. Normally, body alarms will not be removed or carried from the post to which assigned but should it become necessary, the Control Center MUST be contacted and the staff member given authorization to move with the body alarm. The purpose of this is to allow the unit Officer to be in constant communication with the Control Center. A check of all issued units for proper functioning will be made at the beginning of every shift. Further instructions in the utilization of these transmitters will be explained in the Chapter entitled Emergency Procedures. KEY CHITS: Metal key chits are used as receipts for obtaining most equipment that you will be using. Replacement chits are available through the Security Officer. Key chits will not be left in the Control Center at the end of the work day, or upon return of the equipment. Paper tags/Paper chits utilized as key chits are not authorized.

Daily security inspections of your entire area are required and are vital to the security of the institution. Minor repairs will require a work order to the department concerned through the Captain's Office. Defective locks will be brought to the attention of the Operations Lieutenant immediately. Security inspections shall be supplemented with periodic searches by regular search teams. The searches will be initiated by the Operations Lieutenant, under the direction of the Captain. As a Unit Officer, you are responsible for the accountability of your details, authorized lay-ins, and unassigned December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 4 of 29 EFTA00108188 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST inmates. Report all absences to the Operations Lieutenant immediately and follow through to determine the location of the inmate(s). If the inmate should return, notify the Operations Lieutenant. Detail supervisors will screen carefully all individual inmate requests to leave their assigned area. This would include requests to go to the hospital and other areas and departments at times other than regularly scheduled for the department activity. Ensure that inmates in your area are authorized to be there and require those under your supervision to remain in their area. Allow inmates on scheduled call-outs ample time (Approx. 10 minutes) so they may arrive at the calling department at the time specified. INMATE DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES INCIDENT REPORT: Informal resolution of incidents involving violations of institutional rules or regulations is encouraged. However, when an officer witnesses or has a reason to believe that a violation of institutional rules has been committed by an inmate, the officer will prepare an incident report and forward it to the appropriate correctional supervisor. The correctional supervisor may informally resolve of the incident report or forward the incident report to the Unit Disciplinary Committee for further disposition if indicated. As these reports can be subpoenaed into court as legal evidence, all reports must be printed in ink or typed. • INVESTIGATION: The investigations should be conducted within 24 hours from the time the violation is detected, unless circumstances beyond the control of the investigator intervene. The investigating officer will usually be a Lieutenant. The inmate will be given a copy of the incident report by the investigating officer at the beginning of the investigation. The investigator should also read the charges to the inmate and obtain the inmate's statement concerning the incident. After thoroughly investigating the incident, the inmate does not receive a copy of the investigation. However, should the case be forwarded to the Unit Disciplinary Committee, ultimately, the investigation may be given to the inmate's staff representative for use in the presentation on the inmate's behalf. • UNIT DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE: The authority to impose minor disposition and sanction shall be delegated to staff members of an inmate's unit. The Unit Manager will be responsible for the membership and supervision of thee Unit Disciplinary Committee (UDC) as set forth in the Unit Plan.

All facts about the incident which are known by the officer should be recorded. If there is anything unusual about the inmate's behavior, this should be noted. Completed incident reports should be forwarded to the Lieutenants' Office as soon as practical for disposition. Further information can be found in Program Statement 5270.07 ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES: Administrative Remedies are formal complaints submitted by inmates concerning problems they were unable to resolve through normal channels. The inmate is to request the Remedy Form (BP-8, BP-9, and BP-10) from the Unit Team. It is normally returned to the Unit Team for processing, although the inmate may mail directly to the Region or Central offices for sensitive matters. ENFORCEMENT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS: All staff members must be familiar with the Inmate Discipline Program Statement. The rules and regulations must be adhered to, with firm but fair tactics used. You may at times be able to correct an inmate without writing an incident report. However, if the inmate's violation of the institution's rules and regulations is of a serious nature, an incident report must be written. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 6 of 29 EFTA00108190 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST SECURITY INSPECTIONS PURPOSE OF INSPECTIONS: Security inspections are necessary to control the introduction of contraband and prevent escapes. One of the chief duties of the Chief Correctional Supervisor is to establish a formalized plan of inspections that will cover every part of the institution at least once a week. In general, these inspections include doors, locking devices, fire extinguishers, grills, windows, building walls, perimeter walls, etc. Inspections are required even if no discrepancies are found the day prior. All staff will conduct inspections within their area of responsibility for contraband and security violations. The staff will report any discrepancies to the OPS LT, and prepare a Minor Work Request to correct the concern. Staff responsible for their department will initial the security inspection form located by the control centers indicating they have checked their area of responsibility. SEARCHING INMATES: The human body can serve as a potential hiding place for contraband. For that reason, it may become necessary to strip and search an inmate at various times. Further information regarding the proper techniques for searching an individual can be found in institution policy and the Correctional Services Manual. In order to prevent the introduction of contraband, routine and unscheduled searches of inmate's person, housing units, work areas, or other facilities used or frequented by inmates must be conducted. This will include thorough searches of inmate's clothing, personal property at the time of admission; searches of inmate's person and quarters when it is suspected he/she is concealing contraband; his/her place of work, recreation areas on a routine or unscheduled basis as directed by supervising personnel. Such searches may be initiated on an individual inmate basis, or mass searches may be ordered when contraband is suspected of being in the possession of unknown individuals. Pat Searches: Pat searches will be conducted on a routine basis solely as a means to control contraband. Before a pat search is conducted, the inmate will be asked to remove any head gear and the contents out of his/her pockets. The head gear and personal effects will be inspected after removal and placed out of reach from the inmate. Male and female inmates will be pat searched in the same manner, with the exception of the chest area. A staff member will search the female inmate's chest area using the back of the hand. Pat searches of the male inmate and the rest of the female inmate will be done with the inside, (palm and fingers), of the hand. The pat search will be conducted according to the procedure described on the approved Bureau pat search video tape.

Contraband may be best defined as any item or article inside the institution that was not issued by the institution, purchased in the commissary, purchased through approved channels, or approved by an appropriate staff member. All contraband seized must be placed in the log book in the Lieutenants' Office listing item, date and inmate. When money is confiscated, the appropriate receipt, available from the control center and/or ISM must be utilized. All coin and any currency is to be confiscated and duly recorded. During regular duty hours, contraband funds along with the confiscation forms are taken to the Cashiers Office. During non-duty hours, the confiscated funds and accompanying form will be placed in the night depository, located in the control center, until the next regular working day. Contraband, other than money, should be recorded on the Confiscation and Disposition of Contraband form and should accompany the confiscated articles. SEARCHING INMATE LIVING QUARTERS: When making a search of an inmate's living quarters, each officer should make sure that nothing is destroyed in the process. Officers should make every effort to return all articles to their place, excepting things which are determined to be contraband and are removed.

The key ways are not to be plugged; any lock having a plugged key way will be considered contraband and will be seized as contraband CIM (SEPARATIONS) All inmate movement in MCC New York is supervised by staff members. There are serious security and safety concerns regarding the inmates housed in MCC New York and their CIMS status. An inmate's CIMS status is confidential and will not be shared with any inmate(s). The unit separations roster is a sensitive, confidential item which must be safeguarded at all times. The various inmate programs at MCC New York are scheduled by floors. This has been arranged to provide the inmates with a safe and secure environment during the appropriate program. This also alleviates the CIMS concerns for each program.

It is the Unit Officer's responsibility to ensure all inmates are checked for CIMS concerns prior to any escort off of the unit. The Unit Officer will check the Unit separations roster to ascertain if the inmate's name appears on the roster. Ensure all inmates are checked for CIMS concerns prior to any escort off of the unit. The Unit Officer will check the unit separations roster to ascertain if the inmate's name appears on the roster. If the inmate's name does not appear on the roster, the inmate is cleared to be escorted off of the unit. If the inmate's name does appear on the separations roster, the Unit Officer must clear the inmate prior to allowing the inmate to be escorted off of the unit. Inmates must be properly cleared by the Unit Officer and requesting staff member prior to any escort. The requesting staff member must clear all inmate movement to their area with the C&A Officer at extension 5123. The C&A Officer must clear the inmate prior to the inmate departing from his/her assigned housing unit. The Unit Officer must also clear the inmate with the C&A Officer prior to allowing any inmate to depart from the unit. Even though, the Hospital Officer or the Visiting Room may be clearing the inmate(s), it is the Unit Officer's ultimate responsibility to ensure the inmate has been properly cleared. The Unit Officer must review the Unit Separations roster and check for the inmate's name and register number on the roster. If the inmate's name does not appear, the inmate is cleared for movement, and you do not need to contact the C&A Officer. If the inmate's name does appear on the Separations roster, the Unit Officer must contact the C&A Officer at extension 6468 and clear the inmate prior to allowing the inmate to depart from the unit. Inmates must be properly identified and pat searched prior to departing from the housing unit. Every inmate must carry on their person the institution identification card. This is the means staff utilize to properly identify the inmate. It is the Unit Officer's responsibility to ensure the inmate has his/her identification card on his/her person prior to departing from the unit. The number of inmates escorted at one time on the elevator is directly related to the number of staff available to conduct the escort. One staff member can escort ten (10) inmates in the elevator at one time. Anything more than ten(10), inmates in the elevator causes security and safety concerns. During Inmate Visiting, the Intern Officers and the Activities Officers will assist the Visiting Officers in escorting inmates to and from the Visiting Rooms. The number of December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 10 of 29 EFTA00108194 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST inmates escorted through the connecting link is directly related to the number of staff available to conduct the escort. Anytime In-Custody inmates are escorted through the connecting link, two staff members must be present for the escort. One staff member positioned at the front of the escort, and the second staff member positioned to the rear of the escort. When an inmate is being escorted to or from the Special Housing Unit, two staff members must be present for the escort. A ratio of 2:1 will always be maintained when escorting inmates to or from the Special Housing Unit. ENTRANCE PROCEDURES: COVERAGE AND METHODS: Entrance procedures include the control of inmates, employees, visitors or commercial traffic entering the institution. Because of the need for a broad knowledge of the institution and its function, along with a thorough understanding of security requirements, only those officers with such knowledge will normally be staffing these posts. Constant contact with the public requires that these officers display a neatness of appearance, ability to handle people, tactfulness in enforcing regulations and alertness in recognizing security hazards. OUTSIDE INMATE DETAILS: During normal duty hours, all outside inmate details, (Warehouse, Building 4, Admin Orderlies, etc.,), will depart from the institution through the Rear Gate. The inmates must be escorted from the unit by the detail supervisor, using the inmate elevator. The inmates must be properly identified, one detail at a time, by the Internal Officer, in the elevator sally port, utilizing the approved gate passes. Once the inmates have been positively identified, the Rear Gate Officer will request for the door leading through the 1st floor sally port to the rear dock. The detail will be further processed by the Rear Gate Officer. All required information will be recorded in the TRUSCOPE program. Any work performed in the Rear Gate is considered outside of the secured perimeter. This means any area on the rear dock to include, Warehouse, and Trash Compactor. The Rear Gate Officer will positively identify and properly process the inmate detail into Rear Sally Port to perform their assigned work. If needed after normal duty hours, weekends and federal holidays, the inmate details will be processed through the Control Center the Operations Lieutenant will designate a staff member to positively identify the detail, in the elevator sally port, utilizing the approved gate passes.

If it is determined that they cannot be surveyed and replaced, Class A tools such a saw blades, etc., requiring replacement, will be returned to the Central Tool Room for disposal. FOOD SERVICE TOOLS: A knife and tool equipment cage with a shadow board and adequate locking device shall be located in the Food Service Department. All hazardous knives and tools will be marked with an identification symbol. All knives will be chitted out of the knife cage and attached to the cutting table by the responsible employee. The accountability of the knives will be checked at frequent intervals during the shift and at the end of the day. CONTROLLED FOOD ITEMS: Special attention must be given to food items such as yeast, nutmeg, fruits, and fruit juices. Of this group, yeast shall be locked in a secure box in a refrigerated area. An inventory shall be kept, indicating the date and quantity of issue, receipts, the balance on hand, and the initials of the responsible employee. Yeast shall be dispensed only by the Food Service employee and kept under strict supervision. CONTROL OF HAZARDOUS AND POISONOUS CHEMICALS: Inventories will be maintained of all poisonous and toxic fluids used in the institution, such as narcotics, wood alcohols, methyl- alcohol, ditto fluids, acids, gases etc. These items will be stored in a locked cabinet and will be drawn by an employee only, when authorized by the department supervisors.

The purpose of this is to establish procedures for control and inventory of institution keys and locks. Further detailed information can be obtained by referring to BOP Program Statements. All keys authorized for daily use will be stored on the Control Center key board when not in use. Sets of keys are identified by letter and number with the number of keys in that set indicated. Two listings of key locations identifying active and emergency keys can be found in the Control Center and in the office of the Security Officer. RESTRICTED AND EMERGENCY KEYS: Restricted keys have blue/black tags on the keyboard in the Control Center. The Watch Supervisor will be notified when it becomes necessary to draw keys for a department or post other than his/her assigned are, or to a restricted area, such as the commissary, storeroom, etc. The officer will prepare a Restricted Key Form indicating the purpose for entering such area. Emergency keys or red-lined keys will be issued only at the direction of the Warden, Chief of Correctional Services, Associate Warden, Watch Supervisor or the Institution Duty Officer. Acting positions may delegate the drawing of keys for a specific time period via memo through the Captain. HANDLING OF KEYS: Keys will be carried on a ring which is securely fastened to a chain affixed to the belt of the officer. Discussion of key numbers and reference to their use will be avoided in the presence of inmates. Keys should never be carelessly thrown around, dropped, or left unattended, etc. Always personally hand the keys to your relief so they remain in the personal possession of the officer at all times. Each officer has the responsibility to count the number of keys on each set to ensure that all keys are present. Inmates will never be permitted to handle keys designated for employee use at any time, or under any circumstances. Should an employee take keys home, the keys must be brought back to the institution immediately. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 19 of 29 EFTA00108203 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST LOST OR MISPLACED•KEYS: If a key or a set of keys is lost or misplaced, the officer will immediately report it to the Watch Supervisor by telephone or in person so that adequate safeguards may be placed in effect. The area the keys were last in will be immediately secured and all inmates in the area will be searched. This will be followed by a written report to the Chief of Correctional Services as soon as circumstances permit. REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN OR DAMAGED KEYS: Whenever a key is broken or damaged, the employee concerned will submit a request for replacement to the Security Officer. All parts of the broken key will be retrieved from the key way immediately to prevent inmates from gaining access to them. A replacement key will be issued by the Security Officer in accordance with established procedures. If the key is broken or damaged and immediate replacement is needed, the Watch Supervisor will be notified and will take appropriate action. If it is not possible to retrieve the broken portion from the lock, the employee will remain at the lock until the broken portion can be retrieved. REQUEST FOR REMOVAL AND ADDITION OF KEYS: When it becomes necessary for a new key to be added to your key ring, submit a Security Work Request to the Chief Correctional Supervisor for approval and signature, stating the reason the key is needed, your key ring number and the institution key number if possible. If a key is no longer needed, submit a Security Work Request to the Security Officer. INMATE URINALYSIS PROGRAM: Urine Surveillance and Narcotic Identification, inmate urine samples will be taken at different hours (early morning, noon, late evening). Therefore in order to accomplish this a weekly urinalysis test roster has been established for all inmates that fall under the random testing roster. It is critical that when inmates are notified for UA testing that they are not left unsupervised. They must be watched from the time of notification until they report for testing at the Lieutenants Office. It is also imperative that when conducting a UA test of an inmate that the subject is also tested for alcohol by using the Alco-Sensor III.

Extra copies of the call-outs will be placed at the detail pouch cabinet. Unit officers will post the call-out in the housing units. The employee who places an inmate on call-out must ensure the requested inmate arrives at the specified time. If the inmate does not arrive as scheduled, the requesting staff member shall contact the staff member responsible for the inmate's accountability. If the inmate(s) is/are found to be in an area other than the assigned callout area, it is the responsibility of the staff member(s) or department that has placed the inmate(s) on call-out to prepare an incident report for the inmate's failure to report to call-out. If efforts to locate the inmate fail, the inmate shall be immediately reported to the shift lieutenant as missing and appropriate action initiated to locate the inmate. CELL ASSIGNMENT - SEXUAL OFFENDER/PROTECTIVE CUSTODY Cell assignments will be determined in an methodical manner. This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial in minimizing the potential for assault. HIGH RISK LIST During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list. This list will be provided to the Lieutenants' office and the Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act out and be in need of medical or psychological attention. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 21 of 29 EFTA00108205 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Additionally, the Captain should inform the Warden of any camera malfunctions, plumbing problems, or issues that may cause problems, as well as the corrective actions taken/attempted to rectify these issues. Inoperable security equipment, during serious incidents, prevents staff from being able to record and or/view the incident for possible prosecution or administrative action. SUICIDE PREVENTION INFORMATION BOP HIGH RISK GROUPS • New Inmates - The first few hours and days after admission can be critical. Newly incarcerated inmates may experience feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger, agitation, depression, relationship problems, legal concerns, hopelessness, and helplessness, which can contribute to increased suicide risk. • Protective Custody - Inmates who volunteer to enter protective custody are at high risk for suicide, especially during the first 72 hours in SHU. These inmates should be referred to psychology services immediately. • Long-term Protective Custody Inmates - These inmates are particularly vulnerable to depression that can lead to a suicide attempt, and should be monitored closely while they are in SHU. • Inmates Taking Medication for Mental Health Reasons - These inmates are vulnerable to developing suicidal thoughts and attempting suicide by overdosing on their medication. Inmates on medication should be monitored to make sure they are not hoarding medication. Any signs of distress, deterioration in hygiene, or sudden changes in behavior should be reported to psychology. FACTORS THAT CAN INCREASE THE PROBABILITY THAT AN INMATE MAY BECOME SUICIDAL: Mental Health Factors History of mental illness 1. Is the inmate depressed, actively psychotic? 2. Has the inmate been compliant with psychotropic medication? 3. Have there been changes in eating, sleeping, hygiene, weight, recreation, activity level? Prior suicide attempt 1. How lethal was the attempt? 2. How many attempts have been made? December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 22 of 29 EFTA00108206 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Inmate's current mood, affect, and behavior 1. Is the inmate emotionally upset, angry, and easily agitated? 2. Are the inmate's thoughts clear and goal directed (vs. delusional or psychotic in nature)? 3. Is the inmate depressed, has there been a recent loss? 4. Has hopelessness persisted even after the depression has lifted? 5. Has the inmate given away property, revised a will, or requested a phone call to say his goodbyes? Medical Condition(s)/Chronic Pain 1. Does the inmate have a chronic life threatening medical illness? 2. Has the inmate's overall health diminished recently? 3. Is the inmate experiencing pain or other negative symptoms? Relationship Difficulties 1. Has the inmate received a Dear John letter? 2. Have communications and or visits decreased? 3. Has there been a change in the relationship? Situational Factors 1. Legal issues - pending indictment; loss of appeal to reduce sentence. 2. Difficulties with staff or other inmates. 3. Gambling debts, drugs. 4. Ending of a close relationship with another inmate. 5. Possible victim of a sexual assault. REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING INMATE BEHAVIOR Report Your Concerns: Any inmate behavior(s) that is questionable and may reflect a change in mental health status should be reported to the Shift Lieutenant immediately. During non-working hours: Inform the Shift Lieutenant of any questionable inmate behavior. He/she will determine if the on-call psychologist needs to be contacted. Segregation Log Book: Any changes in inmate behaviors should be noted in the TRUSCOPE program. A detailed note regarding the observed behavior is advisable. Documenting in the TRUSCOPE program serves two purposes. First, the entry serves as a means of communication for other staff members. Second, it provides an accurate account of activity during your shift. Documentation should be neat, legible, and professional. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 23 of 29 EFTA00108207 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST RESPONDING TO A SUICIDE EMERGENCY A Segregation Officer observing an inmate in the act of committing suicide, causing other self-injurious behavior, or who appears to have committed suicide will call for back-up before entering the cell. The officer will notify the Control Center and the Lieutenant's Office by radio of the situation and request immediate back-up. BACK-UP MUST BE PRESENT IN ORDER TO ENTER A CELL. The "cut- down" tool is located in the storage closet on a shadow board. It is the #1 officer's responsibility to locate this item at the start of the shift. This tool is only authorized to be used in emergency situations. Miscellaneous use of this tool is not permitted and will result in dulling the blade of the tool. In the event an inmate commits suicide, the scene of the suicide will be treated in a manner consistent with the investigation of an inmate death. All measures necessary to preserve and document the evidence needed to support subsequent investigations will be maintained or otherwise adequately recorded. SEXUAL ASSAULT PROTOCOL Reporting In all cases of reported sexually abusive behaviors (e.g., from alleged victim, staff, and/or "third party") the following will occur: The Operations Lieutenant will be notified immediately and he/she will: • Immediately safeguard the inmate (which will vary depending on the severity of the alleged sexually abusive behavior and could range from monitoring the situation, changing housing assignments, changing work assignment, placing alleged victim and perpetrator in Special Housing, etc.); • Promptly refer all inmates reported or suspected of being the victim of sexually abusive behavior to Psychology Services for assessment of vulnerability and treatment needs; • During business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, and Warden are notified; and During non-business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, Duty Officer, and the on-call Psychologist are notified. • The Program Coordinator will review the psychological assessment and other relevant factors and make a determination as to whether or not to proceed with the full activation of the Response Protocol. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 24 of 29 EFTA00108208 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Responding Not all allegations of sexually abusive behavior will require full activation of the Response Protocol. In some cases, the Program Coordinator will determine that there is not sufficient reason to proceed (e.g., the alleged victim credibly recanted; the alleged perpetrator was not in the institution on the date of the allegation, the inmates involved independently report a non-coercive sexual encounter, etc.) and the Response Protocol may be terminated. In cases where more information is needed, or in cases where there is a credible and serious allegation or instance of sexually abusive behavior, the full Response Protocol will be implemented. Once the Program Coordinator determines that the intervention should continue, a sensitive and coordinated response is necessary. Services will be provided in an environment that meets both security and therapeutic needs. The full Response Protocol, monitored by the Program Coordinator, involves the following components: Protection All appropriate staff will consult and determine the actions to be taken to prevent further sexually abusive behavior both to the alleged victim (e.g. change in work assignments, change in housing assignment, closer supervision, protective custody, transfer, etc.) and/or by the alleged perpetrator (e.g., remove from compound, change housing assignment, etc.). The Captain will ensure that a STG category of "V SA UNV" is entered into SENTRY, and in instances where an inmate perpetrator is alleged, will enter the STG category of "P 3A UNV" for that inmate (See Section 13.b. for further details). PSYCHOLOGICAL: Psychology staff are responsible for crisis intervention, assessment of treatment needs, documentation of the evaluation results, treatment, psychiatric referral, and/or other treatment options related to the alleged victim. In addition, Psychology staff provide guidance to Unit Management and Community Corrections staff regarding an inmate's post-release mental health needs. Inmate perpetrators (or alleged perpetrators) of sexually abusive behaviors will be referred by the Operations Lieutenant to Psychology Services. Inmates considered high-risk for sexual re-offending may be referred to specialty treatment and/or management programs, individual or group counseling, or may be managed through standard correctional techniques. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 25 of 29 EFTA00108209 METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST If an inmate perpetrator is determined in need of treatment services and refuses treatment, Psychology Services staff will document the refusal and place it in the medical section of the Inmate Central File and notify the referring staff of the refusal. Documentation of treatment compliance or refusal ensures continuity of care within, between, and outside the Bureau. Examination Medical staff are responsible for examination, documentation, and treatment of inmate injuries arising from sexually abusive behaviors, including testing when appropriate for pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Where indicated, medical staff, trained in the collection of sexual assault evidence (i.e., "rape kit") should conduct an examination for physical evidence which may be used later in formal investigations. At institutions where Health Services staff are neither trained nor certified in sexual assault evidence gathering, the inmate will be examined at the institution by trained health care professionals from the local community or at the local community facility equipped (in accordance with local laws) to evaluate and treat sexual assault victims. Prophylactic treatment and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases will be offered to all inmate victims, as appropriate. Whenever an inmate is referred to Health Services for examination and treatment of injuries related to sexually abusive behavior, staff will encourage the inmate victim to complete an Inmate Injury Assessment and Follow-up form (BP-5362) as required by the Program Statement on Patient Care. Investigation In cases where the full Response Protocol is activated, staff are trained to investigate allegations of sexually abusive behavior thoroughly. The information concerning the identity of the alleged inmate victim and the specific facts of the case are limited to those staff who need-to-know because of their involvement with the victim's welfare and the investigation of the incident. This is important not only to preserve the victim's privacy but also to preserve maximum flexibility to investigate the allegations. Initial Notifications: Upon activating the full Response Protocol, the investigation phase is initiated and the following notification(s) will be made: Inmate Perpetrator on Inmate Victim: In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against another inmate, the Special Investigative Agent (or SIS) will be notified immediately.
