Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Employees

Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employees face high-stakes, split-second decisions in environments where judgment is constantly scrutinized. Even when they follow policy, routine actions can be questioned, and the perception of a mistake can trigger internal reviews, OIG investigations, disciplinary proposals, or civil claims. Correctional professionals may be the subject of prisoner allegations of misconduct or even named personally in lawsuits when acting within the scope of their duties.

FEDS Protection professional liability insurance (PLI) provides peace of mind, responsive customer service, and legal defense. We're trusted by federal employees and endorsed by leading federal employee associations nationwide.

“The risks facing federal employees are too great and the out-of-pocket costs for legal representation too high for federal employees to fail to protect themselves with FEDS Protection.”

Christopher J. Keeven, Partner, Shaw Bransford & Roth P.C.

“I encourage all federal employees to protect themselves and invest in a professional liability policy. It is a small price to pay in exchange for the protection and security it can provide you."

David Schertler, Managing Partner, Schertler & Onorato, LLP

"Having objective and experienced legal counsel to deal with federal matters is simply cost prohibitive. It’s remarkable to be able to purchase through an insurance policy that kind of protection as well as the protection for payments of personal judgments if you are sued. If you are engaged in any law enforcement or homeland security function, you have to ask yourself if you are willing to gamble your life savings when you can so readily purchase an affordable safety net.”

Debra L. Roth | Managing Partner, Shaw Bransford & Roth, P.C.
