Tips to being a good correctional officer

[@keaganropp6617]

I started my career few months ago also. No military or law enforcement experience and everday is new. Whether it's your first fight you break up or whether it's your first major contraband you find during any type of search. To keep fighting everyday to stay is hard, the shift drains the day out of you. But to keep motivated and to prideful in your job over sees that drain. Thank you for posting this

[@TierTalk]

That is powerful. I am going to pin your comment to the top. Well said!!!

You must be able to think on your feet and react to many different emergency situations. A correctional officer must be willing to serve and protect not only the community but fellow officers, other prison staff and yes the inmates as well. One minute a correctional officer may be a first responder dealing with a medical emergency and the next minute a fire fighter putting out a fire in a cell or dorm. A correctional officer wears many hats and is trained in many areas. One of the most important traits in my book is be honest, loyal and trustworthy while watching your fellow officers back at all times and everything else will fall into place. Be willing to listen and learn and do not pretend to already know everything. We never stop learning.

[@TierTalk]

Gary York love it Gary. We wear many hats in this profession and we must be willing to step up and wear each hat with 100 percent effectiveness

[@toddcercone6715]

@@cacoca79 Why bring that trash talk to this channel? Tier Talk is attempting to educate officers to do the right thing while out there. They don't advocate treating inmates as sub-human, or aggrandize any inmate abuses. Inmates don't need us??? Tell the suicidal inmate who is bleeding out because he/she thought of a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Tell the gang banger who gets jumped by a rival gang. How about when an inmate get's news that their mother, daughter, son, etc. got killed on the street and they don't have phone time to even call home. Go to some other channel and leave your gangster comments. With that attitude, I am sure that you will thank a correctional officer sooner rather than later.

Honestly I would stay in Corrections if it weren't for the ambition of being on a SWAT team or SRT whatever your variation, I would rather stay Behind the Walls then on patrol because there's more action and I can help more people and make it a better difference prison inmates then random people I come across on calls. I working at jail that we do not have CERT team because we are qualified to do what's needed of that & the Shakedown or extraction and have deputies that can respond if possible lethal force is needed but even if I moved somewhere for prison and eventually got on with CERT I was just rather do it on the streets making arrest / emergency response. In that case I would be moving up in law enforcement but simply going to the police academy and we coming up a control police officer is not advancement it's just expanding

[@texas_trill_guy_5677]

I'm a Juvenile Correctional Officer and have been for about 4 years now. I learned so far that you have to be fair, firm, and consistent. I work with a Juvenile population that already has their sentences and are awaiting transport to the different facilities around the state. I'm 4 years in now, and the Juveniles tell me they can't read me if they wanted to. Ironically, myself and a few other officers don't run into too many behavioral issues with the juveniles. However, I do let them know that if they make bad decisions, there are consequences to the choices they makes. Completele lockdown. Ironically, complete lockdowns comes in waves. When it's a good day, it's a good day. However, when it's a bad day, IT'S A REALLY BAD DAY. I decompress from my job by going to the gym, or just enjoying a multitude of outdoor activities. I'm 4 years in, and one thing I've noticed is the juveniles only use my last name if and when i piss them off by asking them to follow directions. More times than not, I'm met with expletives left and right. It's crazy how the day shifts from one moment to the next. I don't yell, or raise my voice and they tell me I'm a weirdo because of it. Oh well, yelling only begets more yelling and absolutely nothing gets accomplished.

[@BudgetGunsandGearReviews]

"A lot of people look down on Corrections." Try being in JUVENILE corrections. Holy crap, I wish I had a nickel for every time I've been called a babysitter- I'd retire! Babysitters don't deal with rapists, drug dealers, armed robbers, and murderers...

[@bobobeeper2]

My advice, every officer has their own way, do not fight that. Do not try to be someone else, inmates have nothing but time, and they will see your facade clear as day. It takes time to find your own unique way of handling things, and when you do find it stay consistent. And have a sense of humor, we are locked in with convicted felons the entire time we work, it is a very negative environment as it is, find a way to bring some laughter into it, trust me, it helps a lot. Have a safe shift.

It also takes a very strong and unassailable deeply ingrained sense of integrity. In my honest opinion all of the attributes that we look at as a profession integrity is wound through all of them. In those moments where we as officers and supervisors are put to the test. It mostly happens when you are alone, with little oversight or backup to lend you the strength. In these moments your integrity is the inner voice that tells you that something is wrong, something is off. I strive to pass this on to all of my new officers and seasoned veterans. The offenders are always watching and will prey on us in that moment of perceived weakness. Your integrity is what sees you through those moments, that all of us have had and will continue to experience at differing times through out our careers.

[@vol98fan]

The biggest trait to me, it the oath you take to the county, state, federal government of your facility. If that oath is violated, it effects ALL of us. You have to realize you protect the public, your fellow officers/staff, and then the inmates. You have to fight for each equally. THAT is the toughest part. Many (and I have worked with a few) have a mind block that certain inmates don't deserve protection. The ability to toss that block aside is the hardest, but the most mandatory.

[@TierTalk]

[@davidshepherd397]

The CO has to be a jack of all trades, an authority figure, a team player, but also able to be strong in themselves. You are a para everything., legal, teacher, Councillor of drugs, family issues, relationships. The CO is the answer to every question or doubt the inmate has. For example "what is my chance of getting parole?", "can you check the spelling and grammar on this assignment?", "My girlfriend is doing this, what do I do?", etc. The CO is the complaint person for everything, medication, food, canteen, and have to be able to answer those questions or know where to get the answer. The CO has to be capable of approaching issues from many points, as all inmates are different so different approaches need to be made to try and avoid force. The CO will have to use force, even when they are loath to do so. Its the only job apart from the military where your co-workers will come in for an OT they don't want so you can have some vacation time. A place where co-workers will work unwanted OT so you wont be short staffed. When I started the Jail I was at held about 725 inmates, and we had a night shift of 10 including the control officer. Its a job where you need supreme confidence in your abilities and have and use those skills each and every shift. The CO is on duty the whole time they are at work, even on break they are expected to respond, and do. The job is always potentially deadly, and also highly political, so you can end up in a tight corner very quickly either with the organization or the inmates. I never pursued a promotion that would take me off the floor. The administration was very bad, but I loved working the floor. There is not even a participation award for corrections, we are the poor cousins of law enforcement, and always the ones who get blamed for any issues in the justice system. The media loves to tell a story about a bad event in a prison, even when the staff are completely bound by policy and procedure. A good CO is respected by the inmates, and every staff and inmate knows who is respected and who isnt. They have names for each of us, from down right rude to almost liking. Inmates don't have many people in their world they can count on to tell them the truth, and COs are usually in that group. We are some of the best people they know. there is much more to it and the man says, almost too much to explain. We are even more to the inmate than parents are to their children and think about explaining that role. Stay safe and watch your back

[@ambermegansharpton12]

Tier Talk Correctionsone KZbin Channel so your opinion from this short talk am I right to go back in?

[@ronerickson8083]

In order to keep your spirit and soul safe while working at a prison or jail put a Zantac tablet and a very small amount of coffee grounds down as many sink drains as possible in your location. Thank you Corrections Officers.

[@g.6768]

was the difference between a correctional officer & detention officer?

[@underdog0731]

11 m the difference is people held in detention are there for sentencing and then there shipped out to do there institutional time.

[@DaddyF1re]

well the first thing could be make sure that yoU are about to be dirt rolled by the warden like what almost happened to me. *accomplished smile*

[@Muilisxx]

[@edespitia9605]

To this day I never understood why corrections is always shunned at by the media and by the auditiors. If they want to make a change. Corrections is always hiring

[@g.6768]

Hey everyone, my goal is to become a detention officer. Is that the way how you become a police officer?

[@TierTalk]

You can learn a lot that can help you police on that level. It is a great move to take.

[@Trooper738]

Be honest with your fellow officers, inmates and don’t give these “MUTTS” anymore than what they are suppose to get!

[@thaddeuscaldwell7442]

Come to work, give the inmates what they are supposed to have and don’t give them what they aren’t supposed to have then collect your pension!

[@russhamilton3800]

[@rachelbarker583]

Thank you. I am really excited about doing this. It feels like this is the right place for me.

[@TierTalk]

Rachel Barker it’s a great profession Rachel. Just be yourself at all times. And make sure you remain firm fair and consistent.

[@rachelbarker583]

I definitely will. Your videos have helped me feel more comfortable and confident.

[@TierTalk]

Rachel Barker I am looking forward to hearing some of your stories.

[@lucaro1127]

Is a profession that gets no respect or credit. Most people think that prisoners are locked down and that the "guard" sits in a gaurded area playing security gaurd all day. It is the other way around these dudes convicted felons are walking around the offercers all day face to face, eye to eye and the officers do NOT carry guns in there. All you have is your verbal judo and interpersonal skills. Remember these inmates have different personalities so one size does not fit all inmates.

[@TierTalk]

lucaro well said

[@princeismypitbull5432]

dont trust staff or inmates the best tip

[@TierTalk]

Way to keep things balanced. Lol

[@kristopherhollon5852]

Yep staff are tge ones bringing the shit in

[@tsnaha]

Amen

[@tigerclaw8454]

I think everyone needs to have some time working inside a prison. It was an excellent experience for me.

[@Theking49817]

Well…not everyone could make it. Most are scum.

[@miguelcolon8929]

New to your channel....

[@TierTalk]

Welcome my brother

[@miguelcolon8929]

Will be taking my written test soon. I hope it goes good.

[@TierTalk]

Miguel Colon learn all you can. That fact that you are willing to learn puts you above most people who think this profession is a simple profession.

[@miguelcolon8929]

Thanks and will do.

[@8460437]

It takes exactly two minutes to get to the point. Too much preamble.

[@jamesst.patrick9768]

What state do you work

[@TierTalk]

North East

[@laceyrobinson8440]

I got in some trouble when i was 18 and 19 yrs old...no felonys but does that ruin my chance of becoming a CO.i wanna help these inmates better their lives when they get out but i dont want my past getting in the way of that im almost 27 yrs old with kids and i would love to help the inmates become a better version of themselves.

[@TierTalk]

It can vary from agency to agency. The best is to be honest up front and see where the chips fall.

[@devonjamesosborne]

You remind me of the guy who betrayed the group who broke out of the Matrix.

[@TierTalk]

Really. Lmfao

[@blingstepentertainment4800]

U have to cut your hair if your a man ??

[@pikachurose3067]
