Montgomery City County Personnel

The fundamental reason that this position exists is to process the paperwork related to inmate grievances and discipline. The clerks’ major work responsibilities include gathering information/ evidence, processing information as it relates to rule violation, use bipartisan determinations of the facts, and issue the final ruling as it relates to loss privileges. Also, the incumbent selected for this position will also perform general clerical duties. The incumbents in this classification usually focus on either grievances or disciplinary; however, the incumbents are trained to work in both areas as back-up and support. The Inmate Grievance/Disciplinary Clerk classification differs from other clerical classifications in that the position requires the clerk to interview detainees and make decisions based on the information collected investigation of incidents. Although the clerk is required to gather and process the information and make determinations, the clerks’ supervisor reviews all findings prior to their release of detainee documentation.  Work is performed under the supervision of a Corrections Officer.

High School diploma or GED and one (1) year experience conducting interviews and making determinations based on the interpretation of laws and policies and the evidence and information collected.  Three (3) college level courses in Criminal Justice or Correctional Law may be substituted for the required experience.

NOTE: Qualifying education, training and experience that provide the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the job will be considered.
