1. ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES
The majority of Department Orders were developed prior to
recent organizational changes. As a result, many Department Orders do not
include the position of Deputy Director and Division Directors in the formal
reporting structure.
During the review of each Department Order, authority and
reporting responsibility will be clarified and updated, and will be reflected in
revisions to Department Orders, as necessary.
In the meantime, please ensure that the Deputy Director, and
Division Directors for Offender Operations, Program Services, and Support
Services are included in the chain of command and in decision-making processes,
as appropriate. Also note that the positions of Deputy Directors for Prison
Operations, Inmate Health Services and Administration have been abolished, and
that the Division Directors for Offender Operations, Program Services and
Support Services have assumed the authority formerly assigned to those
positions.
2. TITLE CHANGES
Title terminology will be updated during the review of each
Department Order.
This Director's Instruction is effective immediately and will
remain in effect until completion of the review of all Department Orders. The
Policy Unit will notify you when this Director's Instruction expires.
