As a Corrections Officer I believe I was hardworking, skilled in managing correctional functions and monitoring inmate behavior. Employed sound judgment and verbal de-escalation tactics to maintain order and prohibit dangerous situations. I assist in detecting contraband during cell searches.

I have a history of exercising sound judgment and reasoned thinking during crisis events. I developed a strong rapport with prisoners and colleagues. I believe I had an excellent command of detention center safety, security and emergency management protocols.
