Corrections Officer Safety
Corrections Officers have a very important yet dangerous job. Facilities often have many rules and guidelines to follow; however, accidents and surprises can still happen at any given moment. Courses such as Suicide Prevention, Corrections 1-4, Patrol Procedures, and Using Oleoresin Capsicum will help officers clearly define what their role is in their facilities when unexpected situations arise.
