Utah Department of Corrections — Investigative Services and Complaint Bureau

Summary

Utah Code §64-13-20 requires the Department of Corrections to employ staff to pursue investigations of complaints from the public, staff, or offenders regarding corrections programs, and to prepare investigative services reports for courts and the Board of Pardons and Parole.

It has full access to departmental evidence but no subpoena power over outside parties, makes findings advisory to department leadership, and has no civilian composition requirement. No separate annual public report is required by statute.
