CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Correctional Technician I: This is the entry-level classification in the Correctional Technician series. Initially under immediate supervision, incumbents learn and perform a variety of routine duties of clerical and technical sheriff administrative and programmatic duties. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; immediate supervision becomes more general and frequent review of work lessens as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Correctional Technician II-level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is generally supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Correctional Technician II: This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Correctional Technician series. Incumbents are fully competent to independently perform a full range of clerical and technical sheriff administrative and programmatic duties. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Correctional Technician I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only general instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Senior Correctional Technician in that the latter performs the more complex work assigned to the series and/or providing technical and functional direction over lower-level staff.

Positions in the Correctional Technician class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the II-level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
