REFRESHING IS LEARNING “The essence of refresher course is constant learning” by: JO3 Jorge T Gregorio

It has been said that the only secret formula in our quest for excellence is constant practice. No other substitute for learning than a continuous training and education in whatever endeavor one wants to excel.
Continuous training and retraining of employees in any organizations is a manifestation of organizational growth and development characterized by proficiency and effectiveness in the execution of their duties and responsibilities.
The BJMPRO-XI Refresher Course is one of a kind training program of the BJMP that seeks to realize this concept. It offers a training opportunity for jail officers who are very willing but are deprived to avail of their respective mandatory schooling due to personal circumstances like lack of time and resources.
This training course is aimed to refresh their basic knowledge and skills on jail management with major emphasis on jail security and control of inmates as these are the main tools in the safekeeping and development of our inmates.
This program started to materialize on December 1 to 6, 2008 where thirty (30) graduates had automatically joined the newly created Special Tactics and Response Team (STAR Team) of the region purposely designed to respond in any call of emergencies like escapes, riots, hostage-takings, and similar jail disturbances.
To continue realize this program, about forty (40) jail officers had again undergone the second batch of refresher course in the regional office last March 9 -12, 2009 at Davao City Jail compound, Ma-a, Davao City. And it is expected that the third batch of the same training would be on June this year.
Not only basic theories on jail management are taught but even advance training on tactical response are also taught as well, like that of the close quarter battle (CQB), practical shooting, and the actual hand combat defensive tactics.
