We understand that the information needs of professionals like you can be complex and diverse. While we strive to provide a wide range of resources to meet these needs, there may be times when you can't find what you're looking for.

However, we want to make sure you have access to all the resources available to you. We recommend checking out our full library, exploring our online training catalog, or searching our website using different keywords. You can also contact us with any specific questions or requests for information and we'll do our best to assist you. We appreciate your interest in our website and hope you find the information you need.

Resources for Roles and Topics

	Our Correctional Program Specialists and librarians have created a wealth of information about the subject matter which should be incredibly useful even if a training or webinar is not currently being held on the topic. We've organized some content by role and other content by topic to provide you with multiple ways to approach a subject:

	**Resources by Role**
		We've structured the pages in this section to cater to the needs of a particular role in corrections. Different resources are gathered for Pretrial officers, Jail Administrative and Support staff, or Prison Wardens.
		**Resources by Topic**
		Topic pages have been created to provide a set of resources on a particular subject. Each resource has been well-researched and should help anyone who needs help better understanding the topic.
		**NIC Publications**
		If you're looking for a particular publication we've created, browse our library and find the perfect publication and guidance on the problem you're facing.
	Ask NIC

	Sometimes you're facing a novel problem that hasn't been solved before. You can't find good answers and Google isn't giving you what you think you need. NIC can help. Our information center employs a team of librarians and expert researchers who can help answer your questions and who know how to find information for you. In addition, NIC's Correctional Program Specialists (CPS) have decades of experience working in corrections facilities and advising agencies in improving all aspects of their operations. We can help you find the answers you need.
