Prior training or experience in dealing with adolescents preferred.
Physical Requirements
This is a locked, secure, jail-like environment housing juveniles who are charged with delinquent acts, many of which are violent such as battery, robbery and murder. The safety of this community, as well as our staff and residents depend upon Detention Officers who have the ability to act quickly, responsibly, and fairly, with compassion, consistency, and control.
Work is performed on carpeted and cement floors. There is a considerable amount of walking in the center to escort juveniles from one area to another and to monitor rooms every 4 to 15 minutes. Detention staff must possess the ability to visually inspect a cell room through the door window before entry.
Physical confrontations with residents and cleaning require physical fitness, endurance, a moderate amount of strength and mental awareness. Officers must be physically able to subdue a resident who is fighting or out of control. This may include physical restraint, handcuffing, use of pepper spray, and transporting the juvenile to a more restrictive environment when necessary.
