Thank You For Your Service

The Challenges Faced by Sworn Corrections Officers
Corrections officers serve a vital role in protecting correctional facilities and maintaining public safety. The work can be physically demanding, emotionally stressful, and dangerous, with officers often working nights, weekends, and holidays. These statistics illustrate some of the serious challenges corrections officers face:
25%
of correctional officers self-reported symptoms consistent with at least one psychological distress outcome.
105
per 100,000 is the average suicide rate for corrections officers seven times higher than the national average.
1 in 3
public safety personnel experience mental disorders, including PTSD.

Answering a Call
Have you ever considered what inspires someone to become a corrections officer? For many, it is far more than a profession—it is a calling to serve, protect, and make a difference in the lives of others. Every day, corrections officers face unique challenges that demand courage, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the safety of their institutions, fellow officers, and the communities they serve.
