PUBLICATIONS

Jail Operations Bulletins (JOBs) are designed to assist all jail personnel with the day-to-day issues that impact jail operations, as well as special problems that may arise. Over 80 topics are available, varying from routine cell searches to hostage survival strategies.

JOBs are used by local correctional agencies, colleges, correctional training academies, and individuals who work in or provide services to jails. JOBs are particularly useful for in-service training, formal classroom instruction, and individual study. To assist you with your in-house training, each Jail Operation Bulletin has a corresponding JOB Video which further enhances the learning experience.
