I have also developed strong relationships with local law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders to ensure that we are providing the best possible care for our detainees.

I have worked as a detention officer for several years. I am responsible for the safety and security of inmates in a detention facility. I have experience in managing inmate behavior, conducting searches, and responding to emergencies. I am also responsible for ensuring that inmates are provided with basic necessities, such as food and medical care. In addition, I provide support to inmates' families by keeping them informed about their loved ones' status and providing referrals to resources outside the prison system.
