A decimal system is used to number each volume, chapter, section, and subsection of the Policy and Procedure Manual in order to provide reference to all material.
A typical reference under this system would be "3‑249.06."
- The “3” indicates the material is contained in the third volume (3-249.06).
- The “2” indicates the material is contained in Chapter 2 (3‑249.06);
- The “49” indicates the material is contained in Section 49 (3‑249.06);
- The “.06” indicates the material is contained in Subsection .06 (3‑249.06).
Revisions in the manual shall be indicated in the following manner:
- When revisions are made within a paragraph, the revision date will follow the paragraph.
- For any new sections added, or when a section is completely revised, the revision date will follow the title line.
- When a section has been added, removed, or renumbered, subsequent sections shall be renumbered as necessary.
The revision date shall be the date when a Special Order becomes effective.
