Corrections Officer
Qualifications Process Training Description Salary and Benefits
Job Description: Summary
This classification performs corrections work ensuring the welfare of adult inmates or direct remanded juvenile inmates, departmental and Superior Courts staff, and maintaining security, control, and custody in a functional unit in a direct supervision jail. It is distinguished from the Deputy Sheriff classification which is certified to exercise law enforcement powers.
In a direct supervision jail, corrections staff controls behavior of the jail population through a proactive concept based on direct inmate supervision. In this setting, inmates are given the responsibility to influence their treatment and privileges through control of their own behavior. This direct supervision approach is unlike the more traditional reactive containment approach which utilizes bars, security glass, and other barriers.
