Community corrections reports two vacancies and very high CO turnover
Summary
Corey told the advisory board the office currently has two open posts (one correctional officer and one head correctional officer) and said turnover in correctional officer/work‑release roles is near 60%, compared with roughly 19% countywide.
Corey told the board the program currently has two job openings: one correctional officer position and one head correctional officer post. “Over the course of the 11 months that I’ve been here, our correctional officer staff has faced...a significant problem with staffing,” he said, describing a pattern of hiring and immediate loss.
Corey contrasted an organization‑wide turnover rate of about 19% with a roughly 60% turnover rate in correctional officer and work‑release positions. The disparity, he said, makes staffing a top operational priority as the program adjusts to reduced state grant funding. Board members asked about mitigation steps and placement timelines; staff cited adjustments already made to reduce wait times for direct placement and said they would continue recruiting and budgeting for staff retention.
