Scope and Content Note

Deputies' files typically contain correspondence, memoranda, reports, and occasional pamphlets concerning administrative matters and policy relating to the line bureaus under each deputy's supervision. As such they supplement material on policy development and departmental operations. There is some duplication of records in the superintendents' and deputies' files, but the deputies' files contain more detailed information on lower level policy decisions and programs, because of the frequent communication among deputies and bureau chiefs.

In addition to administrative files (e.g., monthly bulletins, job applications, budgets), the records include files pertaining to the Liquidation Bureau; the Welfare Fund Bureau; the issue of competitive, guaranteed, or open rating; various types of insurance (auto, homeowners, pensions, etc.); and special studies (e.g., no-fault implementation in New Jersey).

13877-12: This accretion consists of records from three Deputy Superintendents: Linda Lamel, John Lennon, and James Randolph. Additionally, the accretion contains the records of First Deputy Superintendent Donald Gabay.
