Okla. Stat. tit. 19, § 19-513.1: Training for jailers

Every sheriff shall require appropriate training for jailers in

accordance with the jail standards promulgated by the State

Department of Health. The sheriff shall not permit supervision of

any prisoner in the custody of the jail by any person that does not

meet the jail standards for training and supervision of inmates.

The sheriff or contractor having charge and custody of the jail

shall comply with all minimal supervision standards pursuant to the

jail standards promulgated by the State Department of Health, except

when otherwise provided by law. Nothing in this section shall be

construed to prohibit or restrict the sheriff or contractor having

charge and custody of the jail from training or cross-training a

person as a backup jailer, if otherwise qualified for such position.
