Risk Assessment: Conducting Prison Security Audits
About This Grant
A well designed and well managed security audit program systematically reviews prison operations, policies, procedures, staff performance, physical security systems, and emergency preparedness to identify vulnerabilities and risks. Because prisons inherently involve high risk factors such as escapes, violence, contraband, disturbances, and other safety threats structured, policy driven audits conducted by knowledgeable staff are essential for identifying and preventing problems before they occur.NIC s 36 hour security training program supports this goal by providing a comprehensive, hands on auditing experience. The program includes an in brief with agency and facility leadership, one full day of in person classroom instruction, three and a half days of prison based audit work, and a half day executive close out. Participants have a unique, nonjudgmental opportunity to apply auditing skills in real operational settings as teams are deployed to designated prisons. Upon completion, a full report of findings is prepared, enabling agencies to develop effective remediation strategies.
