Policy Bulletin

Policy numbers and titles:

Commissioner’s Directive 705 – Intake Assessment Process and Correctional Plan Framework
Commissioner’s Directive 705-2 – Information Collection
Commissioner’s Directive 705-4 – Orientation
Commissioner’s Directive 705-7 – Security Classification and Penitentiary Placement
Commissioner’s Directive 705-8 – Assessing Serious Harm

These policies were modified as a result of the Commissioner’s Directives Standardization Project.

Technical modifications have been made to the directives. These include:

a new look, resulting in stand-alone English and French versions;
a clearer context for the policy document by including its relation to the Program Alignment Architecture, the Office(s) of Primary Interest as well as information on dates of past reviews and future ones;
the purpose, which replaces the "policy objective", is more practical in nature; and
a more concise language/style is used throughout the document.

These policies were standardized by Strategic Policy and approved by the office of the Assistant Commissioner, Correctional Operations and Programs.

Roles and responsibilities are detailed in the policy documents. These have not changed since the last review of these CDs.
