Assemblyman Joe Giglio (R-Gowanda) is reminding interested constituents that the filing deadline for the New York State Department of Civil Service Correction Officer exam is August 7, 2006. The test will be administered on September 9th.

Correction officer positions are located throughout the state in various correctional facilities. Upon successful completion of the one-year officer traineeship, an officer will earn an annual salary $41,348.

“The job of a Correction Officer is difficult and challenging,” said Giglio. “The correction system needs capable officers who are ready for that challenge.”

Giglio is encouraging anybody with questions to call his Olean office at 373-7103 or by sending an email to giglioj@assembly.state.ny.us. Information is also available at the Department of Corrections’ website at www.docs.state.ny.us.
