Last week marked National Correctional Officer’s Week, a time to recognize and celebrate the hard work and dedication of correctional officers across the nation. Established in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, this annual observance acknowledges the vital role these officers play in maintaining safety and security within correctional facilities. In Chattooga County, Sheriff Mark Schrader took the opportunity to express his gratitude for the officers serving at the county jail. “We can’t let this week go by without giving a shout out to our detention staff,” stated Sheriff Schrader. “Most folks don’t see them in their work environment making sure that everything is being done to house, book, process and release offenders that are committed to the county jail.” He concluded with a heartfelt message: “A big shoutout and ‘thank you’ to each of them for doing this job!” The recognition highlights the often-unseen responsibilities and dedication of correctional officers who work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of both inmates and the community.
