Office of the NDCS Chief Inspector releases inaugural report
September 11, 2025 (Lincoln, Neb.) – The Office of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Service (NDCS) Chief Inspector has released its first semiannual report covering January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
The report contains 18-months of data collection related to NDCS operations, including constituent services, grievances, disciplinary appeals, use of force, medical, internal investigations, team member training compliance and special investigations. The data will be used to identify trends, improve processes, and strengthen accountability.
“At NDCS, data and transparency are foundational to how we improve outcomes and serve the people of Nebraska,” said Director Rob Jeffreys. “Everything we do is centered on two core goals: keep people safe and give individuals the tools they need to succeed after incarceration.”
The Office of the NDCS Chief Inspector was established in 2024. NDCS Chief Inspector Geoff Britton is responsible for managing all constituent services, including inmate grievances and disciplinary appeals, as well as monitoring internal investigations and auditing agency policies and processes to ensure adherence to established best practices.
“This report represents the foundational summary of our efforts to conduct reviews, inspections, investigations, and analysis to promote internal oversight, supporting the NDCS mission to keep people safe,” said Britton.
NDCS has established a webpage for stakeholders and other constituents to review information monitored by the office. A copy of this report and future reports can be found under the “Reports” tab on this webpage: https://corrections.nebraska.gov/news-information/office-ndcs-chief-inspector.
