Commands must have qualified escorts to move both pre-trial and post-trial prisoners to and from the PCF.

To be qualified, personnel must meet screening criteria, attend a one-day PCF Escort Class and pass a written proficiency test. Successful completion will result in the issuance of an Escort Identification Card. The certification is good for one year.

Exemptions

Army/Marine Corps Military Police, Air Force Security Police, Navy Master-At-Arms and formal NEC/MOS

school-trained corrections personnel may be exempt from attending the class, but must meet the screening criteria.

Class Schedule

Classes are scheduled for the first Tuesday of the Month.

Requirements

Escorts shall be carefully selected for maturity and the ability to handle emergencies.

Requesting activities shall provide their own escorts for trial, administrative, legal, and any other appointments for pre-trial prisoners.

Commands with frequent prisoner movements shall provide a pool of escorts and each trip shall include at least one escort who has traversed the same route in similar transportation.

In all cases, at least one escort will be of the same gender as the prisoner.

When transporting a pre-trial officer prisoner, at least one escort will be an officer of equal or higher rank than the officer prisoner.

Escorts will not be required or authorized to carry nightsticks or other weapons.

Maximum and Medium Custody In (MDI) prisoners must be escorted by at least two escorts. MDI prisoners shall wear restraints at all times while outside the security perimeter of the PCF.
