Federal Detention Center, Honolulu, Hawaii
Honolulu, Hawaii
Application Deadline: June 25, 2021
The incumbent will be involved in preparing litigation reports and draft pleadings in litigation filed against staff and the United States. The incumbent will also handle the adjudication of administrative tort claims, or handle other BOP administrative matters as assigned. The incumbent will be expected to provide advice and guidance to all levels of staff, including members of the Executive staff. The position requires frequent professional communication with defense attorneys, prosecutors, federal courts and agency officials. The incumbent will need to develop a thorough knowledge of all aspects of BOP policy and practice as he/she may be required to appear in District Court on short notice to explain and advocate the agency's rationale for its correctional management decisions.
Incumbent is responsible for both independently preparing, and for assisting others in the preparing of litigation responses, and in providing on-going subject matter expertise in trials where suits are filed against the institutions. Litigation support will include assisting with all phases of discovery, to include gathering, organizing, and reviewing records, which may involve extensive redaction and use of discovery tools such as specialized software. Must have the ability to read, analyze, and interpret legal pleadings and to prepare thorough, legally sufficient responses for filing in courts or administrative boards in defense of the institution operation. Incumbent must be able to take both standard and unique legal issues and to determine appropriate legal strategies, for the purpose of litigation and for drafting responses to pleadings without direct or immediate supervision. Must have the ability to conduct legal research, utilizing Westlaw or equivalent computer-based systems, without direct or immediate supervision.
This is a primary law enforcement position. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 3307, the maximum entry age of 36 has been established for initial appointment to a position in a BOP correctional institution. The duties of this position may at times require frequent and direct contact with individuals in confinement who are suspected or convicted of serious criminal offenses. It has also been determined that the duties of this position require experience and knowledge of the on-the-job responsibilities of a primary law enforcement officer working in a detention facility. A prerequisite requirement of this position is the successful completion of mandatory correctional trainings, such as the week-long "Institution Familiarization," the satisfactory completion of a mandatory course in "Introduction to Correctional Techniques," as well as other components of an up-to-three week long training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Georgia.
Because of the nature and mission of this position, it requires "hands-on" understanding of the operating problems encompassed in working within an institution. The incumbent must be on-site during regular working hours due to the possibility of being called on to perform as a law enforcement officer in a correctional environment during training, emergency situations, times of staff shortages and under any other type of correctional operating crisis. Specific correctional responsibilities may include custody and supervision of inmates, responding to emergencies and institution disturbances, participating in fog and escape patrols, and assuming correctional officer posts when necessary. The incumbent may be required to shakedown inmates and conduct visual searches in their work or living area for contraband. The incumbent must be prepared to use physical control in situations where necessary, such as in fights among inmates, assaults on staff and riots or escape attempts.
