| Job opportunities for correctional officers are expected to be excellent according to the U.S Department of Labor. The main role of a Correctional Officer is to ensure the order and security of jails, reformatories, and other correctional institutions. However, officers also report on inmate conduct, perform searches of inmates, check cells and intervene in the event of a violation. Good judgment and the ability to think and act quickly are indispensable. A graduate from a Law and Corrections program will attain the skills necessary to keep themselves and the institution safe. |
