I am trying to find an academy that offers the certification for Correctional Probation Officer. A couple of job advertisements are seeking applications from "Certified" only...but can't seem to find anyone (other than Pat Thomas) that offers it. The personnel department wasn't any help either.

There used to be a few community colleges that would offer the program but no more. They consolidated all the trainers in Tallahassee and told the rest of us to kiss their lilly whites. Now as there are few and fewer trainers (most are letting their certification go bye, bye) all the training is on-line. How are we suppose to do first aid on-line? I mean come on!!!

First Aid on-line and no more CPR looks more and more like Tally is trying to marginalize PO's out of special risk.
