Week One is an overview of Florida's juvenile justice system and the roles of staff as outlined in Chapters 984 and 985, Florida Statutes, Children and Families in Need of Services and Delinquency, Interstate Compact for Juveniles. The Friday session includes a unit to acquaint employees with the potential for occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens and airborne diseases, covering universal precautions as recommended in OSHA standards and relevant safety issues. The week is broken into seven lessons addressing the following topics:

Week two for Residential Commitment staff consists of the Department of Juvenile Justice's Use of Force Training. This training is required for all personnel in secure detention or Department-operated residential commitment facilities whose duties may require use of physical force and restraining devices while exercising supervision and/or control of youths, or in transporting youths under Department custody. The training is designed to provide staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to properly implement the Department's policy on use of force. This is the first of the preservice curricula to be converted to a competency-based curriculum, requiring satisfaction of minimum standards of performance in attendance, a written examination, and practical skills assessment. At the present time this training is available only to Department staff and staff of specified critical-need provider programs. Other contracted provider programs may contact the Academy about scheduling of Crisis Intervention Techniques: Verbal and Crisis Intervention Techniques: Physical training, which for the present will continue to satisfy Quality Assurance requirements.
