  • Emergency command — assume on-scene command during escapes, riots, or medical emergencies, coordinating multi-unit responses and liaising with law enforcement or medical personnel.
  • Use of force — authorize and oversee deployment of restraints, chemical agents, or other approved force options, ensuring legal compliance and post-incident documentation.
  • Staff development — identify training needs of individual correctional officers and implement on-the-job coaching plans to improve knowledge and professional conduct.
  • Problem solving under pressure — apply complex problem-solving skills to resolve novel security threats or staffing crises, weighing risk factors and resource constraints simultaneously.
