On May 6-7, the Albuquerque (NM) staff assumed the roles of residents to assist with training U.S. Probation Offices from districts throughout the United States, Guam and Puerto Rico. The Probation Officers were given information on the Staff Training Aimed at Reducing Re-Arrest (STARR) initiative. Albuquerque staff acted as offenders in roleplaying scenarios which they personally created. All interaction received positive feedback. Above, Albuquerque Employment Specialist Antonio Downie (seated center facing camera) interacts with the Probation Officers during the training, held in Santa Fe.
