DOCS members earn ‘servesafe’ certificate
MAKING FOOD SAFER — PEF members at the state
Department of Correctional Services earn certification by the National

protection managers. The course is designed to reduce and prevent food-borne
illness. They will be teaching inmates involved with food preparation safer
methods in preparing and storing food. Inmates, in turn, may also earn
certification, which could lead to gainful employment after their release.
