What is the primary purpose of DO-3?

The primary purpose of DO-3 is to establish and facilitate the identification process for individuals within the detention system. This process is critical because accurate identification is fundamental to the operations of detention facilities, ensuring that individuals are properly documented, tracked, and managed throughout their time in detention.

The identification process under DO-3 typically includes verifying personal information, assigning identification numbers, and potentially scanning fingerprints or photographs to create a permanent record. This helps maintain the security and integrity of the facility, allowing staff to monitor inmate behavior and manage their medical and legal needs effectively.

Other options may involve important functions within the detention process, such as health evaluations for medical screenings or specific procedures related to the release or summons booking, but these are not the primary focus of DO-3. Thus, the focus on identification underscores its significance in maintaining order and accountability within the detention system.
