About the role

This is responsible correctional work supervising the security activities of a correctional institution, assisting in operating a work release center, or performing duties in a specialized area of corrections in a statewide capacity.

Most employees in this class are immediately responsible for the security activities of an institution, or in larger institutions, they assist by being immediately responsible for security activities on either the day or evening shift. Work involves supervision of a large officer force and generally exercises authority through subordinate supervisors.
