Which items should be included in the notification to the airline when transporting prisoners?

• A. All of the above
• B. Identity of prisoner
• C. Level of prisoner risk
• D. Flight number of LEO/prisoner scheduled to fly on

Answer: (A)

Providing complete information to the airline is essential for safe and secure prisoner transport. The prisoner’s identity must be clearly stated so custody papers match the person on the flight and to prevent misidentification. Knowing the level of prisoner risk informs how many escorts are needed, what restraints should be used, and where the prisoner should be seated, shaping the overall security plan. Including the flight number and schedule allows the airline and authorities to coordinate timing, duty assignments, and potential contingencies throughout the trip. Each element supports different aspects of safety, control, and communication, so including all of them ensures a properly planned, well-coordinated transport. All of the above.
