Jail Management Course/Dothan

The Northeast Alabama Law Enforcement Academy is presenting a two week (80-hour) Jail Management Course. The courses will begin at 7:00 a.m. (four 10 hour days) at the Wiregrass Public Safety Center, 100 Public Safety Way, Dothan AL 36303. Tuition for the course includes all notebooks, handouts, and materials. This course is designed for both municipal and county jail personnel.

With the growing number of lawsuits being filed against jails, jail personnel and jail administrators, no agency that maintains a jail can afford not to send their jail personnel to this course.

Also, a student cannot be absent for more that 5% (4 hours) of instruction.
