Administrative Review & Risk Management Division

Risk-Based Review

The mission of the Risk-Based Review department is to identify and mitigate risk with TDCJ policy, procedure, and practice; confirm adherence to state and federal law; and ensure the safety of inmates and staff.

Risk-Based Reviews develop risk assessments for units, divisions, and departments to determine areas of the agency that present the greatest risks. Overall risk is determined by assessing risk factors and applying specified weighting rules to determine low, moderate, or high risk. Reviews are compiled using data from multiple different sources, such as EAC reports, unit and division level reviews, and statistical changes. Each unit, department or division will have an audit agenda developed based on the determined risk areas. The agenda will serve as a tool for conducting the review and monitoring adherence to policy.
