Application Information

For those interested in applying to be a correctional officer with the ADOC, select the position you want to apply for below.

Basic Correctional Officer (BCO)

The Basic Correctional Officer (BCO) is an entry-level position. BCOs work many posts inside the facilities, and their primary responsibilities include supervising inmates and dormitories, conducting searches, working dining halls, managing functions requiring inmate supervision, assisting with educational and vocational opportunities and providing rehabilitative services.

Candidates will receive a call from a recruiter within 2 business days to begin our fully virtual recruitment process.

Correctional Officer Trainee (COT)

The Correctional Officer Trainee (COT) is an entry-level position that requires firearm certification. COTs are responsible for the same tasks as BCOs; however, their firearms certification allows them to work additional posts such as transferring inmates, manning patrol towers and operating perimeter trucks.

Candidates will receive a call from a recruiter within 2 business days to begin our recruitment process. While COT candidates may begin virtually submitting paperwork, each will be required to attend an on-site recruitment event to undergo physical fitness and medical examinations.

Our Commitment Through the Spread of COVID-19

Maintaining the safety, security, and well-being of our inmate population, staff, and the public is the Alabama Department of Corrections’ highest priority. The Department is committed to the protection of each member of our valued team.

We are actively implementing initiatives to curb the spread of COVID-19 within our facilities. Those initiatives include:

Anyone entering an ADOC facility will undergo a health screening, including a temperature check. We are improving our screening process by also developing verbal screening measures.
Signage outlining preventative recommendations, signs, and symptoms of COVID-19 is being posted throughout ADOC facilities.
All ADOC facilities will be regularly cleaned with CDC-recommended supplies.
The ADOC is exploring options to purchase hand-washing stations for staff that will be installed throughout correctional facilities. Supplies of hand sanitizer have already been distributed to all correctional facilities and placed at entry points and staffing posts.
Inmates have been trained on how to sew prctive masks and can produce between 2,000 and 2,500 per day. Masks will be distributed across the correctional system for use by staff and inmates.
