Opening Message
Welcome to the August 2023 Press Release!
It has been a relatively calm month at Bolingbroke where we have taken time to reflect on the past, especially after hitting the #1000th badge number recently. Both our High Command and Command team have grown the past month with some amazing people.
At the start of the Month we held our first on the spot recruitment event that went super well, where we hired over 10 employees. We are looking to do this event again in the coming months as well as a standard recruitment event to show off the department.

Questions for the Employee of the Month
We like to ask the employee of the month a few questions to get their perspective on the job and what makes a great officer, below are a few answers to common questions by our Employee of the Month:
Looking back, what are memorable achievements from your service so far?
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
Looking back, what are memorable achievements from your service so far?
I've been a member of the San Andreas Department of Corrections for a little under 3 months, in that time I've accomplished so many different things it's hard to pick one. To be honest, I can't pick just one, I have to pick two. The 2 most memorable achievements I have since joining SADOC is becoming a member of the Human Resources Command Team and getting myself enrolled in the Supervisor Training Program.
Moving forward what are the next goals as a SADOC officer?
Moving forward my next goals are to take the next step and become a member of the Supervisor Team at SADOC, and then take the next step in some of my divisions and become a member of their respective divisonal command teams or even become the head of them.
Any advice they would give to future prospects who might think about joining the SADOC?
The best pieces of advice I could give someone who's joining SADOC is to pace yourself and focus on making friends with your co-workers. You should spend your time making friends with your co-workers as you'll find the job more fun and it'll encourage you to keep clocking on every day and doing the work, and like any job you should pace yourself so you don't find yourself getting burnt out. I hope anyone who decides to join SADOC takes these pieces of advice and use them because they've helped me get to where I am today.
Divisional Spotlight - Correctional Investigations Division
What Is Correctional Investigations?
The Correctional Investigations Division is essential in upholding the integrity of the Department of Corrections, as well as its transparency. The goal of the division is to handle all matters relating to investigations within the Department of Corrections, which includes complaints made against employees of the Department of Corrections, and investigations relating to any potential security concerns or breaches.
The Department of Corrections holds all of its officers to an exceptionally high standard, but should any individual ever feel that this standard is not being met, then the Correctional Investigations Division is there to process any and all complaints made, in a thorough and impartial manner. The Department of Corrections, serves the State of San Andreas above all else and believes its crucial to have an efficient and easy to submit process for handling complaints, so that we can continue to do so in a manner that the public trusts, and in which we ensure that meticulous investigation can and will occur.
The Correctional Investigations Division is largely split into two branches; the Investigations branch, and the Internal Affairs branch. The Investigations branch may be lesser known than the Internal Affairs branch but is equally important as it helps keep our Bolingbroke facility secure by providing essential investigation services to situations that require it, regardless if it is a possible hostage situation in which the events leading to which must be investigation, or an investigation into how an individual may have smuggled in a piece of contraband. The separation of the branches however does not mean they do not work together, as both branches will handle more serious matters, should it be required, and shows the versatility in having such a division within the Department of Corrections.
The Ever Integral DOC!
Who Can Join The Division?
The Correctional Investigation Division handles sensitive matters and therefore restrictions do apply on the officers that can apply to be part of the division, to ensure that our high standard is continually held. The Investigations branch allows only the most experienced of officers to apply, whilst the Internal Affairs branch allows only supervisors and upwards to join. In both of the branches, the potential applicant must be recommended by command members of the Correctional Investigations Division, and must have been clean from disciplinary actions for a considerable period of time.
The commitment in ensuring the most professional of individuals are the only ones eligible to the Correctional Investigation Division, means we continue to ensure that our departments' integrity is upheld and is another tool in the toolbox of keeping our rigorous processes from faltering.
Message From The Head of Correctional InvestigationsDeputy Warden Audrey Martin wrote:
CID is responsible for all investigations inside the SADOC. The Internal Affairs side of CID handles reports, complaints and investigations against Correctional Officers. Internal Affairs is responsible for making sure everyone is following department rules, maintaining interdepartmental integrity and making sure everything runs smoothly at DOC. Both DOC employees as anyone from outside of the DOC is able to submit a case against an officer. The existence of Internal Affairs plays an important role within the department, as it ensures that issues and concerns can be brought up from multiple different sources. Each case will go through a multi-phase process where there will be worked towards a conclusion and a solution.
The Investigations side of CID is responsible for looking further into security concerns/breaches, (attempted) prison breaks, presence of contraband in the cell block, crimes on the facility and much more. Its main goal is to find points of improvement both on the security and safety side of the DOC.
Both Internal Affairs and Investigations are able to work together in certain cases if required.
