Tier Check Integrity Self-Audit

HOW IT WORKS

This self-audit tests whether the record of your rounds matches the reality of your rounds. Answer each item honestly for your facility, then get a plain-language read and a printable summary. Nothing is stored or sent; it runs in your browser.

Observation reality
Officers stop at each cell and observe, rather than walking the tier once.
An officer can actually confirm a living person, not just a closed door.
Cells are not all logged at the same minute.
Intervals and staffing
The check interval matches the staffing actually on shift.
Watch-level intervals (suicide, medical) are honored, not averaged.
Nights and shift change are covered, not just day shift.
Blind spots
Blind cells and camera angles are identified.
Lighting is adequate to actually observe at night.
Bunks and privacy walls that hide a person are accounted for.
The record
Each observation is tied to a specific time.
A round could be reconstructed honestly after the fact.
Discrepancies between the log and reality get reviewed, not ignored.
// Common questions
Is this stored or sent anywhere?
No. It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is saved or transmitted.
What is tier check integrity?
How closely the logged round matches the round an officer actually observed. High integrity means the record reflects genuine observation, not just a signature.
What if we flag several gaps?
Those are the places an audit or a lawsuit tends to find first. Start there. A Safety Intelligence Audit maps them against your own cameras and rounds.

Tier check integrity is where safety and liability meet. A Safety Intelligence Audit shows exactly where your rounds could be made real and reviewable.
