Freqently Asked Questions
The DOC Decatur CC Shift Supervisor uniquely combines hands-on security oversight with leadership responsibilities in a high-security environment. Unlike some roles, it demands managing custody operations, coordinating staff shifts, and ensuring safety protocols align with Illinois Department Of Human Services’ standards, offering a distinct blend of operational and supervisory duties.
Strong decision-making, effective communication, and conflict resolution skills are vital. The role requires guiding correctional staff through complex situations, maintaining facility safety, and fostering a respectful environment. Supervisors must be adept at multitasking and adapting to evolving challenges within the Decatur correctional setting.
Supervisors often navigate dynamic environments involving staff coordination, incident management, and ensuring inmate safety. The Decatur facility’s specific protocols and union regulations add layers of complexity, requiring agility in managing both personnel and security concerns during assigned shifts.
Decatur’s public safety sector sees steady interest due to stable government benefits and union protections. While competition exists, candidates with prior correctional supervision experience and familiarity with Illinois Department Of Human Services policies have an edge in securing these specialized roles.
Starting salaries for this position are anticipated around $8,643 per month, with potential to reach $12,767 monthly. This range aligns competitively with local government supervisory roles, reflecting Decatur’s cost of living and public sector standards, making it attractive for experienced correctional professionals.
Employees benefit from robust state-funded health and retirement packages, union protections, and career advancement opportunities. The role also emphasizes a commitment to diversity and inclusion, setting it apart from many private sector jobs that may lack such comprehensive benefits and organizational support.
The department offers extensive training, access to digital tools, and career advancement pathways tailored to correctional staff. Supervisors can leverage these resources to deepen their expertise, stay current with security practices, and progress within Illinois' public safety framework.
While state-required correctional officer trainee programs are mandatory, additional certifications in security management or crisis intervention can enhance candidacy. Decatur employers value familiarity with local protocols and software like offender 360, boosting operational effectiveness.
This role operates on a 3pm-11pm shift, Tuesday through Saturday, with Sundays and Mondays off. The environment is high-security and fast-paced, requiring adaptability, strong oversight skills, and compliance with state safety and ethical standards.
Supervisors utilize digital platforms for roster management, disciplinary tracking, and communication. The department's push for digital transformation means staff engage regularly with software like Microsoft Outlook and offender 360 to enhance operational efficiency and reporting accuracy.
