Orderly Officer

Oscar One is the radio call sign allocated to the manager in charge of the prison each day. This call sign remains consistent across all prisons, enabling any staff working there from any other sites to contact the Orderly Officer quickly via radio. Oscar One is usually a CM (Custodial Manager) grade who reports to Victor One (Duty Governor), & over-sees the prison & decision-making on a daily basis, through rotation-based rostering.
