Looking Forward

This year SIM released its newest product called the Inmate Orientation Program [IOP] that provides orientation and training to new inmates on DVD instead of video.  The program is more cost effective because its incorporates still photographs, music and narration into an animated presentation as opposed to moving video. It also is easy to pop-into a nearby computer.  <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> In 2005, SIM is concentrating on 3 initiatives: (1) The release of Crimcast version 2005 offering improved e-Learning features; (2) the creation of an internal CJIS/interoperability team to better serve your inter-agency and multi-platform communication needs; and (3) The expansion of the online resources on The Corrections Connection at <A href="http://www.corrections.com/">www.corrections.com</A> to help you get the answers you need faster online.<o:p></o:p>
