The Ohio Correctional and Court Services Association (OCCSA) is a nonprofit organization. We are a state affiliate of the American Correctional Association (ACA). An ACA membership gives you automatic membership into the OCCSA. The purpose of the OCCSA is to provide a professional association of persons, agencies and organizations, both public and private, who hold in common the goal of bettering the professions of corrections and court services and enhancing their contributions to those professions. We encourage enrollment of persons, agencies, and organizations, whose areas of interest, expertise and concern have commonality with the field of corrections and court services and whose goals and principles are consistent with the OCCSA. We strive to promote a code of ethics applicable to the member body. The OCCSA recognizes universities and other educational institutions by awarding scholarships for students in the correctional and court services curricula.
WHAT WE DO
The OCCSA develops and maintains relationships with national associations for mutual assistance and the interchange of ideas and information. The OCCSA promotes a program of compliance with ACA standards relating to services, facilities and management within the correctional and court services fields. The OCCSA is committed to reviewing legislative and statutory matters being considered before the state legislature and courts respectively, relating to the fields of corrections, court services and youth services.
The Mission of the Ohio Correctional Court Services Association is to provide opportunities for professional development to its membership. This mission is accomplished through the providing of conferences and training opportunities throughout the year.
