Join other probation and corrections professionals to build foundational skills through this comprehensive and interactive virtual training academy. Community based corrections is the most significant criminal justice response to crime. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics site, over 70% of all offenders are placed on community based corrections and over 95% of all offenders will be released back into the community. Over the course of 20 weeks, you will examine traditional, evidence-based, victim-centered and trauma-informed approaches to community supervision and re-entry. Course work is designed to support application techniques and case management concepts in the development of core supervisory skills to improve overall outcomes for victims/survivors, communities and offenders.
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, U.S. Department of Justice and National Institute of Justice funded the National Policing Institute (formerly the National Police Foundation) to implement a project in 2015 to track incidents of averted school violence on a national level. As of April 2018, 51 reports had been filed, although it is suspected that many more incidents have gone unreported. An “averted incident” is defined as a planned violent attack on school grounds that is prevented before injury or loss of life has occurred. In tracking these incidents, five key actions have been identified to improve school safety, ranging from well-defined and practiced active shooter plans to focused plans promoting personal relationships with students.
The Incident Command System (ICS) is a “response method that determines the role of everyone responding to a crisis and defines a shared vocabulary and shared expectations of behavior” (Texas School Safety Center, 2020). Agencies and first responders that provide assistance during a school emergency all use ICS during a crisis. It is imperative that school staff and safety teams understand and are comfortable using the ICS shared vocabulary when interacting with first responders during a crisis. Additionally, utilizing the shared vocabulary during the planning phases of critical incident response will assist in building trust and collaboration between diverse organizations.
