Correctional Officer (Greene/Wayne/Johnston Co) Details

NC Department of Public Safety - Goldsboro, NC

Employment Type : Full-Time

NCDPS is recruiting for Correctional Officer I, Correctional Officer II, and Correctional Officer III positions. Correctional Officers ensure the care, custody, and control of inmates. Officers must tour assigned areas which will require periodically climbing stairs; observing inmate activity in person and on closed-circuit monitors; identify inmates 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 inmates, visitors, and staff. The general security duties performed by officers require them to search inmates, visitors, cells and other areas for weapons and contraband; monitor and regulate inmate and staff movement; maintain and record inmate counts, cell assignments, and other pertinent information; escort inmates within and outside the institution; use and maintain keys and other equipment; and supervise inmate work details. Specific security duties vary by post assignment.

Inmates 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 inmates that they will be supervising:

Correctional Officer I: Minimum – Inmates at these facilities require a minimum amount of oversight, they are permitted to enter/exit cells without permission during certain times of the day. Starting salary $33,130.

Correctional Officer II: Medium – Inmates at these facilities do not require as much oversight as those at Close facilities, but require more supervision than those at Minimum facilities. Starting salary $34,220.

Correctional Officer III: Close- Inmates at these facilities require close supervision at all times. Movement throughout the prison is heavily controlled. Starting salary $36,598.

Some NC prisons contain more than one custody level of inmates.
