Is the role of a Community Corrections Officer only about ensuring the welfare and rehabilitation of offenders?
No. While offender welfare and rehabilitation is an important focus, the primary focus is on risk reduction and community safety while ensuring that the integrity of the offenders’ Court orders are maintained. Enforcement of offenders’ compliance with Orders is a necessary requirement of the position. In relation to offender welfare, it is more common for Community Corrections Officers to refer offenders to appropriate local community agencies for assistance.
