SAIPAN — The CNMI Department of Corrections has been awarded funding through the Opioid Proceeds Council to strengthen officers’ ability to engage with justice-involved individuals affected by substance use disorders.
In a social media post, DOC said the funds will support specialized training aimed at equipping staff with the knowledge, tools, and trauma-informed approaches needed to promote safety, rehabilitation, and recovery, both inside correctional facilities and in the community.
DOC also thanked the Opioid Proceeds Council and the Office of the Attorney General for supporting the training opportunities.
