following:
(a)Performance analysis - Performance analysis attempts to discover discrepancies

and whether department policies and procedures are in alignment with statutes,
regulations and court orders.
(b)One-to-one interviews - Scheduled interviews with custody staff held in private to
encourage candid responses to help identify issues or conditions that should be
targeted for review or correction.
(c)Questionnaires - Questionnaires should be used as a group method to solicit
suggestions and information about what operations are in need of adjustment or where
program resources should be directed.
(d)Staff debriefing - Staff should be periodically debriefed, especially after an
emergency operation or incident, to identify aspects of facility operations that may
need to be addressed by the Jail Administrator and supervisors.
(e)Inspection findings - The Department is subject to a variety of administrative
inspections (standard-setting authorities, command staff, grand jury, jail advocates).
These annual inspections should be used to identify ongoing issues in the operation
of this facility.
