Key Responsibilities

As a Correctional Officer, your duties throughout your 12-hour shift will focus on safety, documentation, and professional communication:

Incident Management: Utilize proven conflict management and de-escalation techniques to diffuse tense situations and maintain a peaceful environment.
Daily Supervision: Oversee and manage the scheduled daily activities of inmates, including meals, recreation, work assignments, and transport.
Policy and Law Enforcement: Maintain order by enforcing strict facility rules regarding contraband, search-and-seizure protocols, and accountability.
