As a department who focuses with helping at-risk juveniles, our goal is to hire candidates that enjoy working with youth.
Quality candidates must possess knowledge of youth in recovery, youth who have experienced traumatic events and it is also important that applicants understand integrity and qualities of the criminal justice profession.
backgrounds establish them to be persons who represent public and confidence.
The mission of the Training Department is to provide juvenile justice professionals with a structured learning experience.
State provided curriculum is used to improve and maintain job performance.
The training components heavily emphasize the safety, security and rehabilitation of our juveniles.
Our philosophy and model is that training staff is required but educated staff is essential.
The Training Department is also used by community partners to train their staff as well.
If you or your organization is interested in utilizing our facility for presentations or trainings, please contact our Training Coordinator.
