Recruiting and retaining qualified correctional officers is one of the most pressing challenges facing corrections today. The nature of corrections work—often misunderstood by the public—leads to misconceptions and negative perceptions that deter potential applicants. High attrition rates further compound the issue, placing significant strain on existing staff and increasing operational risks. To build a resilient and well-trained workforce, jails must implement effective recruitment strategies to attract the right candidates while simultaneously fostering an environment that supports retention. This workshop will explore the role of public awareness in corrections recruitment, outreach strategies reflective of community needs, and opportunities to streamline hiring and onboarding processes.
