Which USMS form documents the Custody Alert Notice?

• A. USM-130 Custody Alert Notice Form
• B. USM-40 Prisoner Release Form
• C. USM-41 Prisoner Remand/Custody Receipt
• D. USM-106 JPATS Request

Answer: (A)

The right form is the one specifically designed to flag and share custody-related alerts. A Custody Alert Notice is a formal alert about a detainee who requires special handling or poses certain risks, and it needs to be disseminated to appropriate offices and personnel to ensure safety and proper custody procedures. The USM-130 Custody Alert Notice Form is the document that captures these alert details—detainee identity, reasons for the alert (risk factors, medical or mental health concerns, housing or transport instructions), and the issuing office—so all involved staff have the critical information needed to manage the detainee correctly.

Other forms serve different purposes: one is used to record prisoner release, another to document remand or custody upon transfer, and another to request transportation under JPATS. Thus, this form is the one that documents Custody Alert Notices.
