During Black History Month, we proudly honor Officer Heron K. Holt Jr., a dedicated public servant since 2009.
He currently serves as a Video Teleconferencing Unit Officer, ensuring the secure supervision of inmates during video court proceedings and facilitating Central Judicial Processing with precision and professionalism. His reliability and courage reflect a deep sense of responsibility and pride in his work.
With advanced training, two Police Academies, and a degree in Computer Network Administration & Applied Science, Officer Holt goes above and beyond — not only protecting our facility, but training the next generation of officers as he has obtained numerous Instructor certifications as well.
Beyond the badge, he uplifts the community as DJ Ex of Party Crasherz Entertainment, bringing people together through music.
Rooted in proud Jamaican heritage, his journey reflects resilience and purpose — echoing the words of Marcus Garvey:
“Up, you mighty race. You can accomplish what you will.”

A highly decorated Army Combat Veteran, Investigator Schronda Williams began her tenure at Essex County Department of Corrections over a decade ago as an officer in custody. She believes that working pods on a moving shift is an essential first step in becoming a strong and eventually consummate officer. Investigator Williams was fortunate enough to be one of the original three officers to work in the Department’s Criminal Intelligence Bureau, where tireless work was wielded to improve safety and security in the facility through the implementation of unconventional tactics. Currently assigned to the Internal Affairs Bureau, Investigator Williams continuously works to ensure integrity, accountability, compliance and professionalism within the Essex County Department of Corrections. ❤️🖤💚
