Summary

As a correctional officer, I am familiar with the problem solving tools and crisis management techniques necessary to be successful in a prison environment. I am knowledgeable of the care, custody, and control of inmates. Also, I know how to handle high stress situations and what is needed to be done to maintain security. I have received training in various types of welding such as GMAW, GTAW, FCAW and SMAW. I picked up carpentry as a hobby and use knowledge I have gained to complete small projects.
