GENERAL DUTIES - CIVILIAN CORRECTIONS OFFICER

The Platte County Sheriffs Office operates a 180-bed correctional facility located in Platte City. Civilian Corrections Officers are primarily responsible for providing the safety, security, supervision, and care of all inmates in the custody of the Platte County Sheriffs Office. Civilian Corrections Officers monitor the activity of all visitors and employees on the premises to ensure that the safety and welfare of everyone is adequately maintained and are responsible for maintaining security throughout the detention facility from assigned control centers. Work involves controlling inmate movement through the operations of switches to security doors, monitoring inmate activity/movement directly from the control center or using security cameras; communicating with inmates by way of an intercom system and/or written communications; and the activation of the alarm system during emergency situations. No prior experience is necessary as this work follows established procedures with instruction/training being given on initial employment. An employee in this position regularly assists other personnel within the Sheriffs Office and other law enforcement agencies/officers. These individuals strive to accomplish the mission of the Platte County Sheriffs Office in each duty performed. Work is performed under general supervision within established policies and procedures; however, a high degree of independent judgment is regularly required.
