The dependable detention officer accomplished enforcing institutional rules and supervising the daily activities of several inmates. With experience in managing security operations and enforcing regulations within correctional facilities. Skilled in crisis intervention, conflict resolution, and team leadership, contributing to a safer environment for staff. My experience working in a detention facility taught me how to maintain security, enforce regulations, and interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds under stressful conditions.
