Office of the Federal Detention Trustee Law and Legal Definition
The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) is component of the U.S. Department of Justice. The OFDT was established in September 2001 in response to growing concerns regarding federal detention. It manages and regulates the federal detention programs by establishing a secure, efficient, and effective operating environment. The office also takes care to see that the appropriated funs are used in a fair and efficient manner. The OFDT reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General.
Some of the major functions and responsibilities of the Federal Detention Trustee are:
Directing and coordinating the budget and strategic planning submissions of detention operations to avoid duplication and ensure that there is internal consistency.
Developing, implementing, and monitoring compliance with Department-wide standards, policies, and procedures.
Developing and managing comprehensive statistical and financial databases describing detention activities.
Developing and implementing strategies to deal with detention "hot spots" and crises.
Reviewing existing detention practices and develop alternatives to improve mission efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Integrating existing predictive workload models to develop comprehensive, Department-wide detention planning capabilities.
