TCOLE Use of Force in Jail Settings #3504 Now Online

By Jamie Aldridge, LE Powerhouse | Thu, 4 Sep 2014

OSS Academy® is proud to announce the launching of the new Texas Commission on Law Enforcement [TCOLE] Use of Force in Jail Settings #3504 online training course offered for Texas Jailers.

Understanding the use of force in jail settings is critically important for jailers to ensure they handle situations safely, legally, and effectively. In high-stress environments where inmate behavior can become unpredictable, jailers must know when and how to apply force in accordance with legal guidelines and department policies. This understanding helps jailers avoid excessive or inappropriate force, which can lead to legal liabilities, injuries, or escalated tensions within the facility. Proper use-of-force training also equips jailers to protect themselves, other staff, and inmates, while preserving the rights of all individuals. It contributes to a safer and more controlled environment, reducing the potential for violence or harm in the jail.

The OSS Academy Use of Force in Jail Settings #3504 online training course is sixteen (16) hours in length and costs only $45.
