Policy
A supplement cannot be changed once it has been added to a case except in extreme situations. If a modification to a supplement is necessary, only the supervisor of the Business Technology Unit or his/her designee can unlock the supplement to allow the modification. The procedure for this process is as follows:
- A written request for the change/modification shall be submitted to the supervisor of the Business Technology Unit or his/her designee.
- The supervisor of the Business Technology Unit or his/her designee will review the request.
- The supervisor of the Business Technology Unit will make a recommendation and submit the request for change/modification to a Bureau Head for written approval or disapproval.
- If the request for change/modification is approved by the Bureau Head, the request and a printout of the original supplement shall be brought to the Business Technology Unit.
- The technical staff of the Business Technology Unit will then unlock the supplement so the change/modification can be made by the requesting unit.
- After the change/modification has been made, an additional supplement shall be made by the person requesting the change with an explanation as to why the original supplement was changed/modified. The first line of this supplement shall state “Supplement # ____ has been changed/modified.”
- The approved written request and a hard copy of the original supplement will be kept on file in the Internal Affairs Unit.
