The Ohio Juvenile Detention Directors’ Association has asked me to provide a day of training, on May 4, 2006, for administrators of juvenile detention facilities and others on the subject of developing emergency management and evacuation plans for juvenile detention and correctional facilities.
To prepare for this training, I need to have a better understanding of the current practices of juvenile detention and correctional facilities regarding emergency management and evacuation procedures in Ohio. If you would take a few minutes and complete the attached questionnaire it would be very helpful.
Please return the questionnaire to me by e-mail or fax by the close of business on Wednesday, April 19, 2006. The e-mail address and fax number are on the questionnaire.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (804) 754-1100 Ext. 211.
I look forward to meeting you on May 4, 2006 at the Holiday Inn, French Quarter, in Perrysburg, Ohio.
