The Bureau is taking bold action to strengthen our workforce. With Operation Full-Strength, we are aggressively hiring to bring 4,500 new employees onboard this fiscal year; cutting hiring times from months to weeks and already onboarding a record 645 Correctional Officers in just one month. This surge isn’t just about numbers. It’s about reducing workload pressure, supporting staff well being, and delivering the resources our institutions need. This initiative is a direct response to what employees told us they need: relief, support, and real action. And we are delivering. More hires. Faster timelines. Stronger institutions. Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient Bureau; one step, one hire at a time. #OperationFullStrength #BOPCareers #HiringNow #SupportOurStaff Learn more here: bit.ly/4zulObJ

Three facilities. One powerful mission. This month, staff at #FCIFairton, #FCIFortDix, and #USPMcCreary united in support of #BreastCancerAwareness, walking and honoring together. Their shared commitment shows what is possible when our facilities uplift an important cause through collaboration, compassion, and community.

Cross team coordination was on full display at #FCIGreenville, bringing together the Special Operations Response Team, Disturbance Control Team, Peer Support Team, Correctional Support Team, and Crisis Negotiation Team for fully integrated high-stakes scenarios. The trainings offer a realistic and collaborative environment where all teams could practice communication, decision making, and tactical response. Exercises like these strengthen decision making, collaboration, and preparedness for real world emergencies. #BOPStrong #StaffDevelopment

BOP is honored to spotlight Officer Seth Lawrence, whose intuition and decisive action helped return a fugitive to custody and safeguard his community. His swift response and coordination with USMS and local law enforcement ensured a safe outcome for everyone involved. His actions remind us that the responsibility to serve extends beyond the workplace. Thank you, Officer Lawrence, for setting a powerful example for our staff and the community we serve. #FCIAtlanta #PublicSafety #BeyondTheCall

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has begun a major modernization of its nationwide radio communications system with the launch of one of the largest technology upgrades in its history. The Enterprise Radio System Deployment Project will transition more than 22,000 portable radios and upgrade dispatch and site infrastructure across the country. This modernization improves audio clarity, expands coverage, and ensures dependable communication for staff. The new platform also strengthens emergency response, boosts operational resiliency, and supports our public safety mission nationwide. #BOP #PublicSafety #TechnologyUpgrade Press Release➡️ bit.ly/3WOTYZ0
