CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Correctional Deputy I: This is an entry-level class in the Correctional Deputy Series.

Positions in the Correctional Deputy series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; positions at the Deputy Sheriff-level may be filled by advancement from the Correctional Deputy II-level; progression to the Correctional Deputy II-level and the Deputy Sheriff-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
