Newark, N.Y. — Seventy jail administrators from across New York State recently attended an annual training conference in Saratoga Springs recently, sponsored by the New York State Sheriffs' Association and the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute. Major Lester Carr and Lieutenant Jeff Fosdick attended from the Wayne County office. The conferences are conducted annually, and provide officers not only the chance to receive training, but to meet with their colleagues from around the state and discuss common issues. The Sheriffs' Association and the Sheriffs’ Institute offer this annual training conference to help jail administrators learn about advances in correctional practices and discuss issues of mutual concern. Representatives of several State agencies, such as the New York State Commission of Correction, the Division of Criminal Justice Services, the State Department of Corrections, and the Department of Civil Service, shared their perspectives on new laws and practices with the jail administrators. The participants also had presentations on a the Sheriffs’ VINE program, which allows victims to obtain real-time information about the incarcerated status of offenders; mental health services for county jail inmates; disability benefits for correction officers; employee discipline; video court appearances; immunization practices which can promote inmate health care; delivery of medication to inmates; and leadership strategies.
