Province adds 99 new correctional officers
Fourteen different institutions across Ontario, including the Niagara Detention Centre, are about to get some new correctional officers.
Solicitor General Sylvia Jones says 99 correctional officer graduates are about to join the workforce.
Twenty of the graduates will support the Central Region, including the Maplehurst Correctional Complex, Niagara Detention Centre and the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre.
The rest will be divided between the Eastern, Western and Northern Regions.
The eight week program included virtual and in-person classes focusing on communication and de-escalation skills.
It also covered areas such as anti-Black racism, Indigenous cultural training and inmate management.
