Directors Desk information about physical fitness test study Correctional Officers are an integral part of ADC completing the mission. The selection process used to select Correctional Officer has recently been transformed through the ongoing LEAN process. In the spirit of continuous improvement, the agency has examined the physical fitness selection tool used to assess CO applicants and Cadets ability to perform the job of Correctional Officer. The agency entered into an agreement with a private firm, Industrial Onsite Network (ION), to conduct an analysis of the current physical fitness standards used in the Correctional Officer selection and training process and how well they correlate to the actual tasks that CO’s perform on a daily basis.
