The goal of this certification is to teach future and current jailers a specific set of knowledge and skills designed to understand inmate processing, maintain order in jail, and invoke disciplinary measures when necessary. In addition, a jailer may also perform cell searches for drugs and other contraband, inspect the facility for cleanliness, and stand guard during exercise periods. This certificate training program provides future and current jailers with knowledge of emergency procedures, mental health, and first aid, use of force, investigations, communications, pertinent law, life skills, and many other aspects of the corrections field.
