Part 1 of the Deputy Commissioner's Instructions (DCIs) covers safety, at-risk procedures, radio communication, contraband, searches and other topics related to security and control.

DCIs apply to public prisons. They operationalise the Correctional Standards and Commissioner’s Requirements and provide a level of prescription and ensure consistency across public prisons. They are developed in consultation with prison management and must properly consider human rights.
