Independence of the Surveillance Department

A surveillance plan must provide for the independence of surveillance department employees assigned to monitor the activities of the gaming establishment. 205 CMR 141.08 shall include, at a minimum, that those employees shall be independent of all other departments. 205 CMR 141.08 must include the period of time that must lapse before: (a) Any surveillance department employee who monitored the activities of the gaming establishment may become employed in any department that said employee had monitored; and (b) Any non-surveillance employee who works in the gaming establishment of the gaming licensee can become employed in the surveillance department. Upon petition to the IEB and for good cause shown, the gaming licensee may request a relaxation of the time periods herein for individual cases.
