County Corrections

This division of the Correctional Management Institute of Texas (CMIT) offers training programs and professional development for individuals who work in the county corrections discipline. The County Corrections Advisory Council, which helps guide the development and programming for the division, is made up of individuals who work in the field, including representatives from the Sheriff’s Association of Texas, the Texas Jail Association, and the Texas Association of Counties.
