CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Correctional Deputy I:  This is an entry-level class in the Correctional Deputy Series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine correctional duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Correctional Deputy II:  This is the journey-level class in the Correctional Deputy Series responsible for performing the full range of assigned duties to ensure proper custody, care, compliance and overall safety and security of inmates in the assigned facility. Positions work independently, exercise judgment and initiative, receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

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.
