Corrections officers must remain vigilant by being aware of their surroundings and keeping their ear to the ground while gathering intelligence and keeping up with searches. Corrections officers and leadership must never become complacent. Corrections personnel should never find themselves walking around murderers and rapists with their hands in their pockets. When corrections officers are surrounded by the extremely violent offenders, they must be prepared for anything to happen at a moment’s notice. Remember, even though the job may be defined by routine, it's not!
