Help Keep Your Community Safe
Corrections Officers are committed to improving their communities, like all people in public safety. At the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center, our Mission, Vision, and Values reflect that commitment. We serve our community, the inmates in our care, and our fellow officers.
Everyone on our team strives to honor our five core values:
- Integrity
- Honor
- Respect
- Compassion
- Courage
Be Part of a Team with a Real Purpose
Qualified candidates are individuals who meet our core values and can dedicate themselves to the safety of our community, the inmates in our custody, and your fellow correctional officers.
This is not your everyday desk job, and successful candidates must be able to think on their feet, react quickly to rapidly evolving situations, and always keep an eye on the broader goals of transparency, integrity, and safety.
Career Opportunity & Advancement
Attaining success as a corrections officer is straightforward and transparent. Unlike other public safety jobs, corrections officers at Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center have their own pay scale. Because pay raises for our corrections officers are not determined at the state legislature level, you don’t have to wait to see if state politics will affect your pay yearly. When opportunities for advancement arise, we look inwards towards our ranks for those who desire to step up.
