“Representing more than half of the agency’s workforce, correctional officers are integral to the success of the agency. They work diligently to keep our communities safe, while also supporting rehabilitation efforts that assist incarcerated individuals in their progress towards successful reentry. Importantly, they prioritize the safety and well-being of both corrections team members and the population they serve. It is a privilege to work with them, and I ask that you join me in honoring their courage and professionalism and in thanking them for their commitment to public safety.”
Joseph W. Walters, Director of Virginia Department of Corrections
VADOC is also informing residents that there are multiple openings in the department, which you can find more on here.
