Online Certification Programs in Correctional & Juvenile Justice
There are dozens of jobs that are currently available in the correctional public safety job area. When you're a correctional officer, you're going beyond the duty of what a patrol officer would do. You could be an essential part of the prison system: helping people change their lives after they're out of the prison system. You may be one of the people right on the ground floor, helping other police officers keep the prison population safe. The average correctional officer can earn anywhere from $29,000-$51,000. There are many reasons for this: where you are placed, how much job responsibility you have, and the company that you work for and how much they are able to pay. Sometimes, jobs in the private sector and in the non-private sector will pay different rates. Regardless of what you're paid, you'll be doing a vital job. Getting a job as a correctional officer can be difficult.
