Responsible for supervising inmates: I maintained accountability of the inmates assigned to my detail
according to policy. I ensured my area met or exceeded the expected levels of sanitation by giving
proper instructions and making certain that the orderlies [inmates] had the equipment and necessary
supplies to get the job done. Responsible for inspecting, operating, and controlling equipment: I
maintained good control of security equipment and correctional devices. I ensured that the security of
the institution was constantly checked and had never been compromised due to any negligent loss of
security equipment or correctional devices. I conducted unscheduled random checks of all security
devices in my areas to ensure proper working conditions. Responsible for controlling contraband: I
conducted frequent, thorough searches of common use areas during my tours of duty. I have
knowledge of policy and procedures governing inmates personal properly, and confiscated items
which were not authorized. Responsible for follow security procedures: I am a security conscious
individual who often checked areas around the perimeter of the institution to make sure no holes,
cuts, or any tools that can be used during an escape were found on or around the perimeter fences. I
immediately reported any discrepancy to my supervisor and provided written documentation of my
findings. And lastly Communication: I kept the lines of communication open, both orally and in writing.

Senior Correctional Officer, GS 7/6
The inmates I supervised encompass all federal security levels, from community thru maximum
custody. I have been trained to recognize signs of discord, tension, and/or abnormal behavior
amongst the inmates. I have been assigned as [OIC] Officer In Charge for most critical posts within
the institutions. Some duties assigned to these areas include: conducting searches of inmate living
areas, verifying institutional counts, monitoring inmates through surveillance cameras, and activity
moves. I've supervised over 40 inmates, assigned to the High Accountability Program. Responsible
for the issuance of emergency equipment, keys, radios, hand/leg restraints, and other equipment
assigned to the Control Center, performing physical inspections of all incoming/outgoing vehicles and
packages, and identifying staff and visitors entering and exiting the institution. I have responded to
emergencies and taken charge of situations until a supervisor arrives on the scene. These
emergencies have included: medical emergencies, inmate on inmate assaults, and inmate on staff
assaults. I have helped to secure these areas, while preserving things such as weapons or any other
evidence for follow up by investigation and report writing. While performing my duties, I have trained
less experienced staff on the dangers and techniques of the varying assignments. I have been a
Member of the Disturbance Control Team at the USP1. As part of that team, I was responsible for
restoring order at the prison in emergency situations and had the opportunity to have hands on
training in chemical agents and handled numerous weapons which include less than lethal weapons.
My duties have enabled me to become knowledgeable in computer software and applications. Part of
my duties were to generate various reports, make changes when needed, and properly distribute
these reports to the appropriate personnel throughout the institution. I was frequently called upon to
translate in Spanish for non English speaking inmates .I have performed all of the above duties to the
best of my ability and with a minimum amount of supervision, while following policy and procedure to
maintain maximum security, which has been reflected in my most recent evaluations. I have worked
closely with a number of Lts. who have prepared me for the challenge to become a GS 8 Officer.
Throughout my career as a Correctional Officer I have had to work closely with a number of Federal,
State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies to transport prisoners using different modes of
transportation to include ground transportation and air lifts. These agencies included U.S. Marshall
Services, U.S. Customs, and State Sheriff Departments. Through my Basic Prisoner Transportation
training, I have been taught what restraints need to be used and how to properly apply those
restraints to ensure officer, prisoner, and public safety while transporting inmates.
