Staff highlighted training outcomes: 36 employees completed supervisor in-service, 11 attended a new-supervisor training and three completed crisis-intervention training, bringing the ADC to roughly 100 CIT-certified staff. A Spanish-speaking GED instructor was hired, and the facility reported a recent GED graduation.
