Who is responsible for deputies tasked with DDWS and making corrections?

The unit commander is responsible for deputies assigned to the Dedicated Drug Enforcement Task Force (DDWS) and for overseeing any necessary corrections. This is because the unit commander typically holds a leadership role within that specific unit, making them accountable for the performance, training, and operational effectiveness of the deputies under their command.

Unit commanders are usually tasked with establishing policies and procedures, ensuring that task force members adhere to legal and departmental standards, and addressing performance issues as they arise. Their focus on unit-level management allows them to provide targeted guidance and support that is essential for effective operation.

In contrast, while watch commanders, sergeants, and captains play critical roles in overall department operations and management, the unit commander has a more specific and direct responsibility regarding the supervision of deputies engaged in the DDWS and the implementation of corrections where needed.
