Correctional professionals are often the silent heroes of public safety—unseen, unheard, but always present. Whether working inside a correctional facility or serving in the community as parole officers, we dedicate our lives to protecting the public and supporting the successful reintegration of those returning to society. We do this with honor, professionalism, commitment, and integrity.
This week, we join in celebrating National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. Our PD2 team has a full week of activities planned to recognize and appreciate one another and the vital work we do every day.
Established in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared the first week of May as National Correctional Officer and Employee Appreciation Week, this observance highlights the essential contributions of those who work behind the scenes to keep our communities safe.
To all correctional staff—thank you for your service, your resilience, and your unwavering dedication.
