Ensure that all inspection results are recorded and stored at division headquarters. The results shall be packaged by year and facility. They shall be kept for a minimum of three years;
Ensure coordination with assisting units who conduct inspections in their area of expertise (i.e. armory inspection is conducted by the range staff; timekeeping inspection is conducted by the Payroll Audit Training Unit);
Require that units within the division delineate on memorandum, corrective measures if deficiencies are found;
Promptly report any major deficiency, as determined by the concerned division chief or division director, to their assistant sheriff and send documentation of the major deficiency with corrective measures; and
Ensure that the documentation of the deficiency and corrective measures are kept with the facility package at division headquarters.
