4955 - 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 establish minimum standards for personnel selection and training. This program also provides technical assistance to agencies to improve local training outcomes, 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.
