Description of the Problem

Oklahoma DOC is experiencing a severe staffing shortage that has a detrimental impact on correctional officer, line staff, and justice-involved individuals’ safety and wellness. This shortage and limited training opportunities lead to higher levels of violence within our facilities. Our staff is not fully equipped to manage a population that has high levels of behavioral health issues and mental illness.

This training will help all staff to better manage and rehabilitate justice-involved individuals by creating better supervisors, line staff, management, mid-management and more. The certification will validate staff members’ abilities and empower them to perform the job duties more effectively.
