What is the correct order for residential plans and transfer investigations?

• A. Step 1 Investigating officer; Step 2 Supervising officer; Step 3 Pass; Step 4 Complete reporting
• B. Step 1 Pass the plan; Step 2 Investigate; Step 3 Provide reporting to offender; Step 4 Update to active
• C. Step 1 Supervising officer submits investigation; Step 2 Investigation officer investigates and passes plan; Step 3 Supervising officer completes the reporting instructions and provides them to offender; Step 4 Investigating officer updates plan to active and becomes the new supervising officer
• D. Step 1 History lock; Step 2 Delete; Step 3 Archive; Step 4 Re-initiate

Answer: (C)

The situation tests the proper sequencing of roles and actions in a residential plans and transfer investigation, focusing on who starts the process, who carries out the work, when reporting to the offender happens, and how the plan becomes active with a role transition.

The sequence that begins with the supervising officer submitting the investigation establishes clear oversight from the outset—there’s an official trigger and ownership of the transfer. The investigation officer then does the substantive work, examining the case and developing a plan to move forward. Next, the supervising officer completes the reporting instructions and delivers them to the offender, ensuring the offender understands the requirements in a formal, concrete way. Finally, the investigating officer updates the plan to active and becomes the new supervising officer, ensuring continuity of supervision and that the plan remains actively overseen.

This flow keeps accountability and continuity intact: initiation by the supervisor, execution by the investigator, formal communication to the offender by the supervisor, and a smooth role transition to maintain ongoing supervision. The other sequences either jump ahead without proper initiation, place actions in the wrong order, or include steps not relevant to this workflow (like unrelated data lifecycle actions), making them inconsistent with how residential transfer investigations are intended to proceed.
