This three-day course provides an innovative look into the theory and practice for certifying detention officers for the State of Oklahoma. The OSA Detention Officer Academy: Train the Trainer is designed to meet minimum requirements set forth by 74 O.S. § 192 (OSCN 2023) and guidelines promulgated rules pursuant to the provisions of the section. During this course, heavy focus will be provided on topics relevant to producing detention officers skilled in highly litigated areas of the career such as medical, mental health, report writing, legal issues, and more. Through this course, instructors will lay the groundwork for legitimizing the position of Detention Officer within your Office.
NOTE: This course was designed by Jail Administrators across the State to be a TRAIN THE TRAINER course. Information provided will contain guidance and base materials for the creation of an academy (or individual training) specific to your Office/Facility. Therefore, we ask that only those attend who have the desire to invest in the betterment of their Office and its training.
