How often are comprehensive searches conducted?

Comprehensive searches are conducted bi-annually, as this frequency is established to ensure a thorough assessment of environments and any potential risks within correctional facilities. Conducting these searches twice a year allows staff to systematically evaluate and address security issues, update safety protocols, and maintain overall order and safety in the facility. This timing strikes a balance between being frequent enough to remain effective and allowing enough time to gather and implement findings from the previous searches.

The other choices suggest frequencies that either do not align with best practices for maintaining security in corrections or may not provide sufficient opportunities to uncover security vulnerabilities and implement necessary corrective actions in a timely manner.
