25 - STANDARDS AND TRAINING FOR LOCAL CORRECTIONS

The objective of the Standards and Training for Local Corrections program is to work directly with local corrections officials to ensure the performance of complex tasks by local corrections professionals. Additionally, the program engages the local corrections community in the establishment of minimum standards for personnel selection and training. This program also administers a statewide training course certification process designed to ensure the competence of local corrections professionals and provides funding to local agencies to offset a portion of the costs associated with meeting these training standards.
