Looking to start a career at the Bristol County House of Correction? Now is your chance.
The Bristol County Sheriff’s Office is now hiring for their September 2024 Correction Officer Academy!
Correction Officers keep the jail safe for staff, visitors, and inmates. They preserve order, enforce facility rules along with all local, state and federal laws. Day to day duties vary depending on the assignment an officer is given, but generally monitor inmate activities, assist with investigations, conduct searches, respond to emergency situations, and document incidents. They provide other services such as transporting inmates to and from court as well as monitor inmates assigned to work details. Officers are assigned to one of three eight-hour shifts: 7am to 3pm, 3pm to 11pm, or 11pm to 7am.
