We are looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented Community Corrections Officer to join our team. This role plays a critical part in the criminal justice system by supervising individuals who have been placed on probation, parole, or other forms of community supervision as an alternative to incarceration. The Community Corrections Officer ensures that offenders comply with the terms of their release and supports their successful reintegration into society.
As a Community Corrections Officer, you will work closely with law enforcement, social services, courts, and community organizations to monitor and assist offenders. Your responsibilities will include conducting regular check-ins, performing home and workplace visits, administering drug tests, and maintaining detailed records. You will also be responsible for developing case plans, referring clients to appropriate services such as substance abuse treatment or job training, and reporting any violations of supervision conditions.
The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal and communication skills, a solid understanding of the criminal justice system, and the ability to remain calm and professional in high-stress situations. You should be committed to public safety and rehabilitation, and capable of balancing enforcement with support.
This position requires a high level of integrity, discretion, and the ability to make sound judgments. You will need to be comfortable working independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. A background in criminal justice, social work, or a related field is highly desirable.
