RETENTION OF RECORDS

In consideration of these potential changes, the unit commander shall review this unit order and Department policies involving mandatory rotation semi-annually. Upon review and approval of the unit order, a copy of the order shall be forwarded to the PDC Area Commander for review.
To ensure compliance with Department policy, a semi-annual audit of the unit order will be conducted by the Custody Services Division Administration Commander.
