Correctional officers from Jamaica's Department of Correctional Services joined their colleagues from other countries in a mock, prison riot training course that was held in West Virginia, USA, from April 30 to May 3.

Five officers were engaged in correctional and law enforcement training and exposed to the latest technology used to manage and maintain order inside prisons. They were accompanied by State Minister in the Ministry of National Security Pearnel Charles Jr and the US Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement Affairs representative (INL) Jamie Russell to the event, which is held annually.

"This experience exposed our correctional officers to the latest tactical training and technology in the corrections industry, globally.

We have also expanded our knowledge and network and intend to utilise the suitable products and services to enhance operations in Jamaica," Charles stated, while also expressing thanks to Russell and the INL office in Kingston for the opportunity.
