ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

Many local corrections practitioners contributed to the successful curriculum revision project of 1999 

2000.  The agencies they represent reflect the demographic diversity of California's local detention 

systems.  Additionally, training providers, instructors and other subject matter experts gave valuable 

input during the revision process. 

The Board of Corrections is extremely grateful to all those who volunteered their time and hard work 

in making this revision process successful.  Their support and assistance, along with their agencies' 

generous contribution of their time, enables California to maintain the most comprehensive and 

current training program for entry level adult corrections officers.  The Board of Corrections wishes to 

thank the following individuals who participated on the task force to develop the physical tasks 

curriculum.
