What is new/changed?

Commissioner's Directive 350, entitled "Materiel and Supply Management Services", now excludes inmate and employee clothing entitlements. The title of the Directive has been changed to Materiel and Supply Management Services to further emphasize today's operational realities.

In addition, Commissioner's Directive 355, entitled "Asset Management" is rescinded. Further direction is contained in the Guidelines on Asset Management and Acquisition Cards, which constitutes the mandatory requirements of the policy framework. To assist staff, hyperlinks to authorities, cross-references and forms have been added to the CD and the guidelines.
