GLENVILLE, WV - Several students in 香妃直播 State College芒聙聶s criminal justice honor society, Sigma Pi Xi, recently took part in a scenario-based training session with members of the West Virginia Regional Jail Authority (RJA) during a professional communication skills exercise. The training took place at GSC芒聙聶s Morris Criminal Justice Training Center and saw the students acting as inmates to provide a more true-to-life experience for the RJA officers.
芒聙聹This training session was a great experience for our students and the Regional Jail officers. The students were able to see and hear first-hand what good behaviors look like from the correctional officers and their supervisors while participating in a training that many of them will complete if they choose a career with RJA,芒聙聺 said Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Sigma Pi Xi advisor Dr. Kelly Treece. 芒聙聹Plus it was a nice coincidence that one of the officers participating in the training from the RJA side was a May 2016 graduate from our program.芒聙聺
That student, Will Coleman, graduated from GSC with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice last May. He recently completed the Regional Jail Authority芒聙聶s multi-week training academy.
Employees of the Regional Jail Authority and Division of Corrections both hold training academies at the Morris Criminal Justice Training Center.
