Relationship Policy

Whistler King made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections

The request was successful.

From: Whistler King

Dear Department of Corrections,

Does the Department of Corrections allow romantic relationships between managers and their staff?

Does the Department of Corrections have a policy in place to deal with office romances in the work place? If there is a policy I would like a copy of this.

If there is no policy how does the Department of Corrections look after staff that are in relationships between their managers?

Yours faithfully,
Whistler King
