D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 28-703
CCC defendants charged with a Class I Infraction shall be immediately remanded to the CDF.
Within twenty-four (24) hours (excluding weekends and holidays) of the defendant's remand to the CDF an affidavit stating the basis for the defendant's remand shall be filed by the CCC staff with the appropriate judicial officer along with a request for an order that the defendant be brought before court without unnecessary delay.
Copies of the affidavit shall be sent by the CCC staff to the Pretrial Services Agency and the Criminal Justice Act Office for forwarding to defense counsel and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Upon reasonable belief of a staff member that a CCC defendant has committed a Class II or Class III Infraction, the CCC staff member may file a disciplinary report. Disciplinary reports must be delivered, hand-carried if reasonably possible, by the reporting staff member or designee to the Shift Supervisor.
The Shift Supervisor shall be responsible for reviewing, signing and forwarding disciplinary reports to the Disciplinary Team.
If the Shift Supervisor believes the report is not sufficiently clear, or that the severity level of the alleged misconduct is inappropriate, he/she shall direct, in writing, that the reporting staff member rewrite the report. The order by the Shift Supervisor to rewrite a disciplinary report shall be made a part of the official record.
Absent extenuating circumstances, disciplinary reports are to be completed within twenty-four (24) hours of the reporting staff person becoming aware of the infraction.
Any extenuating circumstances that prohibit the timely submission of a disciplinary report shall be noted in the report. Absent extenuating circumstances, a disciplinary report shall be submitted to the Disciplinary Team within seventy-two (72) hours after the reporting staff person becomes aware of an infraction.
Each disciplinary report shall include the following information:
A copy of the disciplinary report is to be provided to the subject defendant within twenty-four (24) hours of when the report is approved by the Shift Supervisor, absent any extenuating circumstances.
In the event that a defendant's property is confiscated due to a rule violation, the staff member who confiscates the property shall complete a property inventory form.
Immediately following the confiscation the defendant/owner shall sign and receive a copy of the inventory form.
A copy of the inventory form shall also be placed with the property. The staff person executing the property inventory form shall note the condition of the property.
In the event that the defendant/owner is not present when the property is confiscated, two staff members shall conduct the inventory and both shall sign the property inventory form.
If the property is returned to the defendant/owner, he/she shall verify that the property has not been altered or damaged, sign the inventory form upon receipt of the property, and be provided a copy of the form.
When a violation is reported for which an investigation is deemed necessary, the investigation shall begin within twenty-four (24) hours of the time that the violation is reported. The investigation is to be completed without unreasonable delay.
The investigator shall normally be a supervisor. The investigating supervisor may seek the assistance of another staff member as long as that staff member is not the individual who reported the incident or is not a witness to the incident. Where appropriate, the CCC staff may seek the assistance of the Metropolitan Police Department or other law enforcement agencies in the investigation of the incident.
Any physical item identified as evidence in connection with any alleged misconduct or violation is to be seized by CCC staff. Each seized item must be accompanied by a correctly completed evidence report.
Items of physical evidence shall be picked up daily by the Shift Supervisor and securely maintained in the evidence lockers. Evidence lockers are to be maintained under the control of CCC supervisory staff.
To maintain a clear chain of custody, the time and date that evidence passes from the control of one person to another is to be documented.
When the evidence is no longer needed, it shall be disposed of in accordance with Department of Corrections policy.
The CCC Shift Supervisor, or his/her designee, is responsible for conducting periodic audits of evidence storage lockers to ensure compliance with policies and procedures for the handling of evidence.
The CCC Administrator/Director or Shift Supervisor may place a defendant on administrative hold within the CCC if he/she determines that doing so is necessary to ensure the integrity of an investigation of any incident. Except in extenuating circumstances, a pre-hearing administrative hold should not exceed twenty-four (24) hours, excluding weekdays and holidays.
