Texas Department of Public Safety - Organization

Organization

The governing body of the Department of Public Safety is a five member Public Safety Commission, with all members being appointed by the Governor of Texas. The Commission is responsible for appointing the Director of the Department. The Director is assisted in managing the Department by two Deputy Directors and several Division Directors. Most Division report to the Director through one of the two Deputy Directors, however, the Texas Rangers Division, the Emergency Management Division and the Legal Affairs Division all report directly to the Director.

The Commission also appoints an Inspector General to act as an inspector for the Department, and a Chief Audit Executive as part of the internal audit department known as the Chief Auditor's Office, who are both independent of the Director.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “To fight oppression, and to work as best we can for a sane organization of society, we do not have to abandon the state of mind of freedom. If we do that we are letting the same thuggery in by the back door that we are fighting off in front of the house.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
