CHAPTER 7
FIREARMS AND BADGES
700. DEFINITIONS. 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. S 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:
• trancnnrtinn 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.
EFTA00121915
PS 5500.14

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.
•:

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.

rircarms will not
escapee as an inmate sentence d under the Juvenile Justice and
Delinque ncy Preventi on 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.
EFTA00121917
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 iiisLiinnet perimeter 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 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
EFTA00121918
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
by.bLandes. .
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
4.nfliction 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:
EFTA00121919
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
ir.j.cry Lv iilncicent. uyaLaAsucia.
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 .44
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
EFTA00121920
PS 5500.14

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

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.

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

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
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:

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.

of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or others.

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.

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
