This tuition-free 16-hour Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training class is designed to educate correctional officers at the county, state, and federal levels, as well as jail nurses. This course will provide pertinent information on recognizing current drug trends, clandestine clothing, paraphernalia, concealment methods, symbols of the drug world and recognizing the variety of ways contraband is smuggled or mailed to correctional facilities. One of the key factors in keeping both staff and inmates safe is recognizing substance abuse, overdose signs and symptoms, while being able to distinguish between possible medical conditions which can mimic drug use. The course will give a broad overview and explain how the 11 major systems of the human body are affected by the use of substances. Whether it is during the initial booking process or upon returning from a work detail, drug use by sentenced inmates is prevalent. The key to officer and inmate safety is by recognizing drug use and properly documenting those observations.
