Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (8th Senate District) announced today that his office has applications available for a new hiring exam for prospective Correction Officers.

The filing deadline for the test is Monday, October 3, 2005.

"A career with the Department of Corrections offers many challenges and rewards, and I urge all men and women who are interested in becoming a Correction Officer to get more information on this upcoming exam," said Senator Fuschillo.
