CSC’s investigations process includes national and local investigations of incidents and issues affecting its operations. Investigations into inmate deaths or serious bodily injury are convened under section 19 of the CCRA, at either the national or the local level. CSC’s Commissioner can also convene investigations under section 20 of the CCRA to report on any matter relating to the operations of CSC.
Other than investigations convened under section 19 and section 20 of the CCRA, the Director General, Incident Investigations and heads of operational units may convene investigations under Commissioner’s Directive 041, Incident Reports, to report on incidents and issues affecting CSC’s operations.
During Fiscal Year 2007-2008, CSC convened 89 national investigations, including 32 investigations convened under Section 20 of the CCRA, and 57 Tier II Investigations--either convened under Section 19 of the CCRA (death or serious bodily injury) or under paragraph 18 of Commissioner’s Directive 041.
