Inhaltsangabe

In corrections, the most dangerous shift may be the one where nothing seems wrong.

Every correctional officer knows that prisons can be unpredictable. But one of the greatest dangers isn't always a confrontation, an emergency, or an obvious threat. Sometimes it's the comfort of routine.

Complacency Kills takes readers inside the realities of correctional work, where familiarity, fatigue, overconfidence, and overlooked details can put lives and careers at risk.

Drawing on more than 17 years of correctional experience, Carey L. Randall examines how small shortcuts, declining awareness, inconsistent supervision, and poor communication can gradually compromise institutional safety.

This expanded edition includes:

• Practical lessons on situational awareness and professional vigilance
• Recognizing the warning signs of complacency
• Understanding fatigue, burnout, and declining judgment
• Officer safety, accountability, and professional responsibility
• Leadership strategies for building safer correctional teams
• Realistic training scenarios and discussion questions
• Officer self-assessment exercises and safety checklists
• Practical habits for maintaining awareness throughout a career

Whether you're a new correctional officer, a veteran employee, a supervisor, or a correctional academy instructor, this book challenges you to examine the habits that shape your decisions every day.

Experience doesn't make you immune to danger. Awareness, discipline, and consistency are what help keep you prepared.

Stay alert. Stay professional. Never let routine replace awareness.
