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.
