Training for prison officer members is a positive step and should be encouraged, PSA national secretary Bryce Fleury
said today.
“The PSA has members in the corrections service. We support and encourage training for them and they appreciate the
opportunities to take up training. PSA members represent the public service and, where they are coming into contact with
members of the public, the public should be well-treated. Our members in the prison service, who are committed
professionals doing an often-difficult job, are comfortable with the prospect of extra staff training.”
Bryce Fleury said training should be considered in a positive way and was a good way for people to learn more skills.
