DEFINITION
 
Under general supervision or direction, maintains facility security and ensures inmate welfare in a County Jail; oversees and directs the work of inmates in structured situations and the community during an assigned shift; prepares clear, accurate, and comprehensive reports and other written materials; maintains accurate records, logs, and files; and performs related duties as assigned.
 
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
 
Receives general supervision or direction from the Sheriff's Correctional Sergeant.  Exercises no direct supervision over staff.  Sheriff's Correctional Officer II incumbents assigned to function as jail training officers and officers-in-charge exercise direct supervision over staff.
 
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
 
Sheriff's Correctional Officer I: This is the entry-level classification in the Sheriff's Correctional Officer series.  Under general supervision, incumbents learn and perform varied duties related to the operation of jail facilities.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  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. 
 
Sheriff's Correctional Officer II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Sheriff's Correctional Officer series.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the Sheriff's Correctional Officer I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative.  Positions at this level 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.
 
Sheriff's Correctional Officer I/II incumbents are public officers as defined in California Penal Code Section 831.5 and are not assigned to patrol duties.
 
Positions in the Sheriff's Correctional Officer class series are flexibly staffed and Sheriff's Correctional Officer II positions are normally filled by advancement from I-level, after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
