Only maintaining tools when they break

The correct answer is: Frequent checks for damage or misuse

Maintaining tools through frequent checks for damage or misuse is essential for ensuring their longevity and safety. Regular inspections allow corrections officers to identify any wear and tear or potential hazards before they escalate into more significant issues. This proactive approach not only helps in keeping the tools in working condition but also minimizes the risk of accidents that may arise from using faulty equipment. Consistent maintenance practices contribute to a secure environment, as properly functioning tools can significantly enhance the safety of both officers and inmates. By being vigilant about the condition of the tools, officers can ensure that they are always prepared to respond effectively in their roles.
