Applications are now avail for adult corrections officers. Four recruits from the recent graduating class were assigned to Maui Community Correctional Center.

The Department of Public Safety is opening recruitment for anyone interested in becoming a correctional officer at the Maui Community Correctional Center in Wailuku.

The Department of Public Safety today welcomed a new class of 33 adult correctional officers, including five recruits who have been assigned to the Maui Community Correctional Center in Wailuku.

The recruits completed nine weeks of training that included 360 hours of classroom time and physical training. They are part of a larger class of 27 that graduated today.

There are currently 85 vacancies statewide due in part to attrition and promotions within the department. Here on Maui, 19 individuals participated in a basic corrections training class that started last week.
