About Us

The Staff Development and Training Bureau provides in-service training for correctional and non-correctional staff. The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry has an experienced program development and pre-service/in-service curriculum staff working diligently to provide our staff with the skill and knowledge to maintain and enhance their job performance, along with the skills to deal with everyday stress for work and home. Our program development academies ensure that our management staff is provided the tools to hone skills of established supervisors and to provide newly promoted supervisors the skills needed to manage effectively in a correctional setting. We also offer several team-building activities for staff to enhance teamwork and productivity.

Professional and Executive Development Academies are developed to ensure our staff has the tools and knowledge needed in becoming effective supervisors. The skills learned would enable supervisors to assist staff with the daily occurrences they will face.
