Management inspection and control is necessary to ascertain if command policies, procedures, and rules are adequate and being adhered to; whether department resources are adequate and are being properly utilized; and to evaluate the overall performance and attitude of the department. The department has a formal staff inspection and control system which reports to the office of the chief. Additionally, it is the responsibility of each commanding officer or unit head to continually conduct inspections within her/his command to ensure the proper performance of assigned personnel and the most efficient use of assigned equipment, material, and facilities. Merely finding fault is not inspecting therefore, a commanding officer or unit heads responsibility does not end with discovering a deficiency or inadequacy; it includes taking positive measures to correct the problem.
