Transport Agent
A Transport Agent performs transportation services of detainees to and from state, federal, and county detention facilities, as well as behavioral health institutions. A transport agent may work in a team or on their own. Occasionally overnight and out of state work may be required. Work times vary, with the work day generally starting very early in the morning. Transport agents are expected to work a flexible schedule, with some long and short days. The current work schedule is Monday through Friday, however certain transports will require weekend travel whenever a mandatory release date is set by a court.
