The Correctional Service of Canada ((フランス語:Service correctionnel du Canada)), or CSC, (formerly Canadian Penitentiary Service) is the Canadian federal government agency responsible for the incarceration and rehabilitation of convicted criminal offenders sentenced to two years or more. The system has its headquarters in Ottawa.〔"(Contact Us )." Correctional Service of Canada. Retrieved on December 21, 2009. "National Headquarters 340 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0P9"〕 The Correctional Service of Canada officially came into being on April 10, 1979, when Queen Elizabeth II signed authorization for the newly commissioned agency and presented it with its Armorial Bearings. The Commissioner of the Correctional Service of Canada is recommended for appointment by the Prime Minister and approved by an Order in Council. This appointed position reports directly to the Minister of Public Safety Canada and is accountable to the public via the Parliament. The current Commissioner of Corrections is Don Head, who has held this post since June 27, 2008. Head previously served as Senior Deputy Commissioner from 2002 until June 2008. ==Insignia== In addition to using generic identifiers imposed by the Federal Identity Program, the CSC is one of several federal departments (primarily those involved with law enforcement, security, or having a regulatory function) that has been granted heraldic symbols. The badge (described below) was officially granted by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 15th, 2009. The torch symbolizes learning, knowledge and hope, while the key represents the eventual unlocking of the door upon completion of a prison sentence. The motto means “to grasp the future”.〔(CSC's Crest )〕 The CSC was granted a flag in 2009; it consists of the heraldic badge on a white field, with the Canadian flag in the canton.〔(Canadian Heraldic Authority: Correctional Service of Canada - Grant of a Badge and a Flag )〕 Senior officials have also been granted distinctive badges by the Canadian Heraldic Authority.〔(Canadian Heraldic Authority: Correctional Service of Canada - Grant of Badges of Office )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Correctional Service of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
