Ensure Zero-Tolerance within your Facility
with training from NCTI In Partnership With APPA
The standards adopted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) require criminal justice agencies to provide extensive training to staff, volunteers, and auxiliary personnel. This applies to all criminal justice agencies housing juvenile and adult offenders, including probation residential facilities, lockups, detention centers, jails, and prison agencies. Additionally the new standards will require agencies to adopt policies regarding zero tolerance, incident investigations, appropriate screening, and more.
NCTI's Preventing Sexual Misconduct Against Offenders Workshop and Facilitator Certification Training address the staff training standards adopted by the Department of Justice, and provides agencies with prevention and identification strategies to reduce incidences of sexual misconduct.
