Administrative Supervision in a Correctional Facility

As Captain, you learn that a Lieutenant under your supervision has been resolving staffing shortfalls by informally borrowing officers from a different Lieutenant's shift without that Lieutenant's knowledge. Which action is most appropriate?

• AMeet with both Lieutenants together, establish a shared process for cross-shift staffing requests, and require the borrowing to go through that process going forward
• BSay nothing, since the shortfalls are being resolved and the specific method used should not matter, however the specific situation happens to unfold once all the facts are eventually known
• CReassign the borrowing Lieutenant to a different shift immediately, without discussing the practice with either Lieutenant first
• DInstruct the affected Lieutenant to simply stop noticing when officers are borrowed from their shift
