Becoming a Correctional Officer

Institutional Orientation

Generally when vacancies are filled in Ontario's correctional facilities, all new correctional officers are hired as unclassified employees. Unclassified correctional officers are hired on a contract basis for up to a maximum of 40 hours per week.

Correctional facilities provide new correctional officers with a three-week orientation program to familiarize them with:

rules and operational procedures
institutional routines
the physical environment
institutional programs
case management, and
local committees.
