Who is responsible for the annual inspection and review of secure temporary detention rooms?

• A. District/Division Commander
• B. City Manager
• C. State Auditor
• D. Court Clerk

Answer: (A)

The District/Division Commander is responsible for the annual inspection and review of secure temporary detention rooms. In a Sheriff's Office, detention areas fall under the command of the district or division leadership who oversee operations within their area and ensure safety, security, and policy compliance. The annual inspection covers the physical condition and security of the rooms, safety equipment, medical oversight, sanitation, and staff procedures, and the commander uses the findings to direct corrective actions and maintain documentation. The City Manager, State Auditor, and Court Clerk do not have direct oversight of detention facilities—their roles are municipal administration, financial/performance audits, and court records respectively.
