Jail Updates by Sheriff Bill Holt, Jail Committee Chairman

Jail Minimum Standards: The Jail Committee worked this year with the Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI) and County Technical Assistance Services (CTAS) on revising the Jail Minimum Standards to present a clear picture of the requirements to help all jails to receive and maintain certification. The revised standards have been reviewed and are in the final stages to be presented to the TCI Board of Control for approval.

Correctional Officer Hiring Waiver: The Committee made a recommendation to the TSA Board of Directors to sponsor legislation which created a waiver similar to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST) as it relates to pre-employment qualifications for a Detention Deputy. This legislation established procedures for granting waivers for certain minimum infractions.

The Committee would like to thank all of the Sheriffs, Chiefs, and Jail Administrators for their input.

The Committee will continue to monitor the implementation of the revised Jail Minimum Standards and the Correctional Officer Hiring Waiver process and recommend changes as needed.
