COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS OFFICER SAFETY
The profession of “community corrections” often varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Department policies, procedures, training and safety equipment vary dramatically from one town to the next, and even from department to department.
But regardless of the jurisdiction you work in, there are some core principles that will help you maintain your professionalism, remain productive and proactive during the course of your duties, and most importantly, help you stay safe. The Community Corrections Officer Safety program is a progressive 5-course series on officer survival principles, concepts, and practices. This comprehensive training program provides Probation and Parole Officers foundational officer survival skills that allow you to be safer in the performance of your job duties.
While this course has been developed with the Community Corrections officer in mind, many in the criminal justice system will find a great deal of practical application to their roles as well. Whether you are a Probation or Parole Officer, out in the community, doing Home Contacts, an Animal Control Officer checking on a neglected dog complaint, or a Patrol Officer doing a Safety Check

What People Are Saying about This?
…what an amazing training. ... I would like to share it with individuals responsible for our department's safety training because it didn't just focus on physical skills-which seems to be our primary focus.
I am about halfway through the course and in 23 years as an Adult Probation/Parole Officer, it is the best training I have received. Relevant and spot on for what we do. Thanks for your work on this!
As an Adult Protection Investigator, we go into the residences of all our clients. Situational awareness is very important when entering the residences....We often are alone on this visit and they can be in very rural areas.
It was eye opening to get an understanding of daily threats and how one may or may not perceive them. The discussion on distractions was great to hear as we all find ourselves distracted by something in this day and age.
The presenter's knowledge and presentation were great
I have taken situational awareness trainings in the past. Always a good refresher. This could easily have been longer. Very informative
Great information provided by a knowledgeable instructor!

But I Already Work Full-time… Would I Have Time?
We hear you. Only you know about the demands of your job or if you can “juggle” the demands of work, family, and school. That said, online courses are a great way to get the knowledge you need for career growth, without being tied down to a specific schedule, being out of the office for days at a time, or burdened by the expense of high priced tuition or travel costs. Split up into bite sized components, each course section can be completed over a lunch break in a week’s time – sometimes less. And don’t worry: if life gets in the way, you’ll have a whole year to complete the lessons on your own schedule.
