Summary

This document establishes the standardized numbering system used by the Georgia Department of Corrections for Local Operating Procedures (LOPs). It provides instructions for assigning reference numbers to LOPs that are derived from existing SOPs as well as LOPs created on new subjects not covered by current SOPs. The numbering system allows readers to quickly identify the source SOP or functional area to which each LOP relates.

Key Topics

  • Local Operating Procedure
  • LOP numbering
  • SOP numbering system
  • procedure reference system
  • functional areas
  • supplemental guidance
  • SOP variance
  • Court Order procedures
  • LOP classification

                    LOCAL OPERATING PROCEDURE
                      NUMBERING SYSTEM

The local operating procedure (LOP) reference numbering system setforth below was developed
so that at a glance the reader can easily determine the standard operating procedure (SOP)
from which the LOP was derived. The reference numbering system is two fold:

NOTE: - ** - If the LOP, or the SOP the LOP is derived from, is under Court Order the LOP
reference number shall be followed by two asterisks.

1. Reference numbering for Supplemental Guidance or SOP Variance LOPs that are derived
    from procedures contained in Departmental SOPs: To determine the LOP reference number
    for this category perform the following steps:

    A. Using the SOP reference number from which the LOP was derived, eliminate the
       dash and the two zeros following the dash.

SOP NUMBERLOP NUMBER
`IIA04-0002``IIA0402`
`IIIC04-0006``IIIC0406`
`IVC01-0003``IVC0103`
B. Place a period and the three letter abbreviation for local operating procedure (LOP) after the number determined in step (A) above. This is the LOP reference number.
LOP NUMBERCOMPLETE LOP REF.<br>NUMBER
`IIA0402``IIA0402.LOP`
`IIIC0406``IIIC0406.LOP`
`IVC0103``IVC0103.LOP`
2. Reference numbering for Supplemental Guidance LOPs that are NOT derived from procedures contained in Departmental SOPs: This number is not ba sed on an existing individual SOP number. It is based instead on where the subject of the LOP would be published if it were an SOP. To determine the LOP reference number for this category perform the following steps: A. Using the subject of the LOP, determine the functional area number and letter designator where the subject would most likely be published if it were an SOP. (SEE 2 D FOR LIST)

|SUBJECT|FUNCTIONAL
AREA NUMBER|LETTER
DESIGNATOR|
|---|---|---|
|`ACCOUNTING`|`IV`|`G `|
|`FAC. OPERATION`|`II`|`B `|
|`PROBATION`|`III`|`B `|

B. The rest of the number is determined by using the functional area number and
   letter designator (from 2 A above), repeating the letter used for the letter
   designator and adding a three digit number, starting with 001, to separate the

       various topics under each subject. If an LOP has previously been written for a
       topic using the 001 number use the next higher number (002) for the next topic.

C. Place a period and a the three letter abbreviation for local operating
    procedure after the number determined in step (2B) above. This is the
    reference number for LOPs not derived from an SOP.
