I'm responsible for the care, supervision, and rehabilitation of minors who are in custody within a juvenile detention facility. I monitor the daily activities of detained juveniles to ensure their safety and compliance with facility rules. I conduct security checks, searches, and respond to emergencies, including fights, medical situations, or rule violations, following established protocols. I manage their behavior by enforcing facility rules and discipline policies fairly and consistently. Encourage positive behavior and respect for authority among detained youth. I build trustworthy relationships and help guide each individual through hard times.
