Basic Safety Workshop for Probation and Parole Officers

Presenter: Community Corrections Institute
Broadcast Date: 05/21/2004

It is with great pleasure that the American Probation and Parole Association is offering an online curriculum on Basic Safety Training for Probation and Parole Officers. This workshop is provided through funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The workshop is recommended for staff who provide surveillance and/or supervision to adults or juveniles on probation, parole, aftercare, or other community supervision options. Throughout the workshop we have used the word "officer" for staff and "offender" for the adults or juveniles under supervision.

To fully participate in this workshop you must have:

• Audio compatibility (speakers or headphones)
• Adobe Reader (click for free download)
• Flash 8 Player (click for free download)

NOTE: If you are unable to download the Flash Player or Adobe Reader, you may have  restrictions within your network. If so, contact your supervisor or network administrator. 

At the beginning of the course you will be presented a list of nine modules and will have the opportunity to proceed sequentially or in any order you choose. Within each module the navigational arrows will be at the bottom right. After completing any given module you may continue with the next module or hit the "home" button to return to the list of nine. To exit the workshop altogether, just close the window. You may return to the workshop at your convenience, using the information provided in the confirmation email you received.

It should take approximately 60-75 minutes to complete all the modules, and it is suggested you select a time and place where you can focus your attention on the presentation without interruption.
