Which type of incidents are required to be reported on a CDC-837 form?

The CDC-837 form is designated for documenting and reporting serious incidents that have significant implications for the safety and security within correctional facilities. Events classified as "of immediate interest" include serious occurrences such as deaths, assaults, and any situations that may endanger public safety or indicate a critical breach of security. These incidents require a formal report to ensure proper oversight, accountability, and the potential for further investigation.

Other incidents, such as minor occurrences involving staff or routine inmate movements, do not necessitate the same level of immediate reporting or oversight as those outlined in the category of immediate interest. Regular inmate movements and routine medical emergencies are typically documented through different systems, as they do not pose the same risk or immediate need for attention that serious incidents do.
