If the Operations Journal (OJ) is down for less than 24 hours, what must be done?

When the Operations Journal (OJ) is down for less than 24 hours, transferring all handwritten entries from the Hardbound Logbook into the OJ is necessary to maintain an accurate and comprehensive record of operations. This practice ensures that vital information documented during the downtime is not lost or overlooked and that the OJ accurately reflects all activities and incidents that occurred during this period.

By transferring the information, personnel can maintain continuity in record-keeping and ensure that the OJ remains a reliable source of information for operational management and reporting. This process also facilitates accountability and traceability, which are essential in a detention setting.

In contrast, other options do not fulfill the need for thorough documentation during the downtime. Making all entries in a Hardbound Logbook does not help integrate those records back into the OJ, while stating that no entries need to be recorded dismisses the importance of documentation. Additionally, writing new entries on a separate report would not adequately consolidate all information relevant to the operations during the downtime.
