PROGRAM
The Corrections Branch plays a leading role in the criminal justice system by protecting the community through offender

Adult Custody is one of four divisions of the Corrections Branch and is responsible for the care of approximately 2,800

with Community Corrections based on common core programming and integrated case management; communicates with
stakeholders and participates as a pro-active partner in the criminal justice system.
The management team of a correctional centre works within unique operational imperatives: risk-based supervision,
proven rehabilitation programs, fiscal efficiency achieved primarily through well planned staff and shift management,
compliance with legislation, policy, security and safety standards, 24 x 7 operation, and positive interactions with
government, local agencies and interest groups.
PURPOSE OF POSITION
Under the direction of the Correctional Supervisor, this position is responsible for maintaining the security and the safety
of inmates within their care pursuant to established Branch/Centre policies, procedures and standards. This position is
also responsible for case management, CORE facilitating and for performing other specialized duties within a Correctional
Centre as required. Correctional Officers rotate through designated posts that report to several departments within the
institutional district. The details of these different posts and their associated duties are listed herein.
