How are the numbers for Interim, Operations, Personnel, Department Bulletins, and chief of department memos reset each year?

• A. They reset to 1 on January 1st and then continue sequentially
• B. They carry over from the previous year
• C. They reset on July 1st
• D. They are assigned randomly each year

Answer: (A)

Numbers for those memoranda reset to 1 on January 1st and then continue in sequence throughout the year. This keeps each year’s set distinct and easy to track, so you can tell when a bulletin was issued by the year it belongs to. Carrying numbers over would blur the year, resetting in July would create a mid-year break and confuse records, and random assignment would destroy a predictable filing system. So starting fresh at the start of the calendar year keeps organization simple and consistent.
