The Future is Now: Recruiting, Retaining, and Developing the 21st Century Jail Workforce
Make Sure Your Agency's Voice is Heard in the National Jail Survey
Recruiting and retaining qualified jail personnel is one of the most critical issues facing jails. You can help develop recommendations to improve recruitment and retention by participating in a national survey. This survey is part of an initiative funded by the US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The final product will be a ""toolkit"" for sheriffs and jail administrators addressing recruitment, retention, succession planning and leadership development. This project, coordinated by the Center for Innovative Public Polices, Inc., has as its partners the National Sheriffs' Association, the American Jail Association, and the American Correctional Association.
You can help by taking 30 minutes of your time to complete an online survey designed for Jail Administrators and Line Correctional Staff.
These two surveys will be available online from April 1-25, 2008. Hard copies of the surveys will be provided upon request. Your help and support are critical to developing the best recommendations possible.
