Job description

Work in this class involves the ability to assist in planning, supervising, and coordinating activities in a medium custody facility or institution. Employees typically report to a Correctional Captain II.

Job duties include:

• Assist with personnel actions, administrative affairs, officers’ work schedule, and coordinate activities.
• Assist with discipline, security, and the welfare of the offender population.
