Correctional Officer Training Need

The Federal Bureau of Prisons mission is to protect public safety by ensuring that federal offenders serve their sentences of imprisonment in facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and provide reentry programming to ensure their successful return to the community.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons employs over 35,000 employees. As of 2021, the Bureau of Prisons is responsible for the custody and care of 155,826 inmates. The Federal BOP employees ensure the security of federal prisons and provide inmates with programs and services that model mainstream values.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates that overall employment of correctional officers and bailiffs is projected to decline 7 percent from 2020 to 2030. Additionally, despite declining employment, about 35,700 openings for correctional officers and bailiffs are projected each year, on average, over the decade. All of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
