The training shall include at minimum all training topics required under the PREA standards.
All current employees who have not received such training shall be trained within one year of the effective date of the PREA standards and shall receive refresher training every two years to ensure all employees know the Department's sexual abuse and sexual harassment policies and procedures. During years in which an employee does not receive training, updated information on sexual abuse and sexual harassment policies shall be provided, documented, and tracked by the Department member's concerned facility's training unit.
