The Wright County Board of Commissioners this week proclaimed the week of May 4th through the 10th as Correctional Officer and Employee Week.
Correctional officers are trained law enforcement professionals dedicated to maintaining safe correctional facilities such as the Wright County Jail, and ensuring public safety. Their work is often unheralded because they work behind the scenes dealing with daily exposure to a hostile work environment with some of the most dangerous people in our society. At the same time, they work tirelessly to provide prisoners with direction, hope and focus about their eventual return to society.
In proclaiming Correctional Officer and Employee Week, Wright County takes time to thank the men of women of law enforcement who work in the corrections field and the critical job they perform on behalf of county residents.
