Description: Corrections is facing the riskiest, most challenging period in its history. Staff shortages continue to plague facilities. The opioid epidemic, widespread mental illness and an increase in people identifying as LBGTQ+ are increasing the complexity of inmate care. Even the basic philosophy behind corrections continues to evolve as we understand more about recidivism and rehabilitation.
How do correctional leaders tackle these challenges? How can you keep your residents, personnel and facility safe in the face of increasing risks and complexity of operations?
In this program, 33-year law enforcement veteran and dynamic speaker Gordon Graham will introduce attendees to the rules of Admiral Hyman Rickover, which proved critical in his complex, risky role overseeing the U.S. nuclear navy fleet. Gordon will show how these rules apply to jail personnel—and how your agency can use them to build a high-reliability organization equipped to help leaders of all ranks navigate change.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the seven rules of Admiral Hyman Rickover.
Apply the seven rules to jail operations, understanding how they relate to concepts such as lost time injury rates, supervisory training and inspections.
Explain how a High-Reliability Organization addresses potential problems in advance.
