Development of Training Standards for Three Entry-Level Corrections Positions for the California Board of Corrections Standards and Training for Corrections Program.
McKenna, D. Douglas; Pottle, Christine
This technical report describes the third phase of a three-phase project to develop standards for training corrections personnel. (The first two phases involved a statewide job analysis of corrections officer, juvenile counselor, and probation officer jobs in California corrections agencies and development and validation of procedures for candidate selection.) The objectives of the third phase were to identify the knowledge and skills necessary for effective performance in the three occupations and to prepare models of basic training courses. This report is organized in five sections. Section 1 presents an overview of the systems approach used in the study. Section 2 describes the training needs analyses that were conducted to identify the knowledge and skills needed to perform the core tasks in the three occupations. Section 3 describes how the results of the needs analyses were used to develop performance objectives for the three basic training courses. Section 4 presents the purpose and content of the basic training course manuals, and section 5 provides recommendations for the preemployment training and continuing education of corrections officers, juvenile counselors, and probation officers. A list of 10 references concludes the document. (YLB)
