Trainee-Corrections Officer. Are you seeking a career path, competitive pay and great benefits? No corrections experience is necessaryโwe will train you to maintain security, supervise activities, and promote change in people who are incarcerated at one of the Minnesota Correctional Facility MCF locations. Corrections Officers are responsible for providing a controlled setting to ensure the safety and security of the correctional facility by supervising incarcerated people, encouraging positive behavior, and preparing them for successful release into the community.
Corrections Officers help transform lives for a safer Minnesota! Visit our employment page to hear directly from the following Corrections Officers about what it is like to have a rewarding career with the Minnesota Department of Corrections. During my nearly 20 years with the DOC, I have held numerous roles and responsibilities. I have completed a work-out-of-class assignment as a Sergeant in a control center.
I was responsible for count in the facility, releasing incarcerated people, delegations for incarcerated individuals, and monitoring cameras throughout the facility. I like the many opportunities the DOC has given me to include serving and keeping the public safe. I must say the benefits are a plus for me as well; to include the pay and opportunities for promotions. Many opportunities have arisen for me to advance in my career. Despite the negativity you may hear about working in a correctional facility, I am motivated by the DOC mission to transform lives, and to ensure safety and security of the facility, the public, visitors, employees and incarcerated people.
