Officers must tour assigned areas which will require:periodically climbing stairs. observing offender activity in person and on closed-circuit monitors.identify offenders who have behavioral, medical, or other problems so that appropriate safety and security measures may be taken.and perform general security duties to prevent escape, disorder, rule infractions, and harm to offenders, visitors, and staff. The general security duties performed by officers require them to:search offenders, visitors, cells and other areas for weapons and contraband. monitor and regulate offender and staff movement.maintain and record offender counts, cell assignments, and other pertinent information.escort offenders within and outside the institution.use and maintain keys and other equipment.and supervise offender work details. Specific security duties vary by post assignment. Offenders are assigned to various “custody” levels including “Minimum,” “Medium,” and “Close” which identifies the level of supervision that is required. As such, each Correctional Officer level of classification below corresponds with the custody level of offenders that they will be supervising:

Correctional Officer I:

Minimum

• Offenders at these facilities require a minimum amount of oversight, they are permitted to enter/exit cells without permission during certain times of the day.

Correctional Officer II :

Medium

• Offenders at these facilities do not require as much oversight as those at Close facilities but require more supervision than those at Minimum facilities.

Correctional Officer III:

Close
