County Corrections Officers (Jailers)
Proficiency Certification Requirements Chart
Announcements:
HB 2093: This bill amends section 1701.404 of the Occupations Code and adds county jailers to the named positions that are eligible to receive a certification for Mental Health assignments. Previously, all positions other than county jailers were named and jailers could take the training, but TCLEOSE was not authorized to award certification. This will correct this previous oversight.
Upon receipt of an application and fee, TCLEOSE will award certifications to county jailers who we verify received this training in the past.
This change takes effect September 1, 2009.
