Corrections Community

I was wondering what other facility's provide for annual training, besides the required annual re-certs such as PPCT/CPR, etc. I am wanting to provide something to add a little excitement for our officers besides the same old stuff. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

In addition to mandatory: Def Tactics, CPR, we also have Officer ethics, Report writing, security basics, fire training, blood borne pathogens, suicide awareness, PREA, hostage situations...we usually have 20+ hours a year in annual training. We add and lose classes each year that are not mandatory-try to keep a variety.

Along with what is required of us annually, I rotatate traings on the following topics: Fire Safety, Health Care, Hostage Incident, Legal Paper Work, Mental Illness, Report Writing, Searches, Stress, Suicide Prevention and Intervention, Admit and Release Inmates, Control and Use of Keys and Locking Systems Discpline and Control, Control and Use of Tools, Utensils and Housekeeping Items, PREA, Evacuation, Surveillance and Communications Equipment, Principles of Subject Control (self defense), Safety and Security Basics, and BBP

 In California state prisons we have 40 hours of annual training on PREA, Bloodborn pathogens, CPR, weapons, hostage survival, Responding to daily emergancies such as alarms in units, EEO/ sexual harrasment,  various california court mandates, Inmate property, cell searches, gang classes, use of force policy, chemical agents training, conflict resolution, fire safety, inmate appeals, litigation, suicide prevention, mental health issues, americans with disibility act (disabled inmates), substance abuse programs updates and emergancy operations plans such as earthquakes, fires, riots, escape proceedures.

Thanks everyone! I'll present these in our meeting and see if we can get some variety!

If you send me your email address, I will forward some information to you about required training and some "nice to have" training.  Jerry

Lock-up USA has decent two part video for this. The footage is dated but the information is good. The videos are Principles of Suicide Prevention (27minutes 30 seconds) and Suicide Prevention (37 minutes and 13 seconds). You can view and purchase them on line at Lock-Upusa.com
