GENERAL INFORMATION
This position is with the Oregon Department of Corrections’ (ODOC), Information Technology Systems and the Investigations Unit. The possible duty locations are: Madras, Pendleton, Salem, Umatilla, or Ontario. The specific location will be determined at the time of appointment. This recruitment will be used to add names to the current list of qualified applicants.
This position is represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees' (AFSCME) Union.
Applicants will be subject to a Computerized Criminal History and Motor Vehicles Division check as well as a thorough background investigation. Adverse background information may be grounds for disqualification.
All department employees are responsible for upholding the mission of ODOC by promoting public safety, holding offenders accountable for their actions and reducing the risk of future criminal behavior. ODOC employees oversee and manage inmates in order to maintain safe, civil and productive institutions. They are responsible for the safety of inmates and protection of property at their work site. All department employees have a significant impact on the success of the ODOC mission and need to understand the fundamentals of the Oregon Accountability Model.
The Oregon Accountability Model emphasizes the importance of criminal risk factor assessment, inmate work and programs to mitigate identified risks, staff-inmate interactions that support positive change, inclusion of families and children as a positive support in an inmate’s life, successful reentry into the community, and ongoing community supervision and programming. Staff interactions with inmates on a daily basis are, without doubt, the most powerful tool to reinforce pro-social behavior. Thus, the nature of interactions with inmates is core to the ultimate success of corrections and community safety. Each employee is expected to model appropriate pro-social behavior, support positive change in individual offenders and actively support the Oregon Accountability Model through day-to-day interactions with others.
The Oregon Department of Corrections is an innovative leader in the field of corrections and community safety and has been nationally recognized for accomplishments in all six components of the Oregon Accountability Model.
