Commissioners honor correctional center staff, proclaim May 4-10 National Correctional Officers and Employees Week in Warren County
WARREN COUNTY, NJ – The Warren County Board of County Commissioners saluted the staff of the county Correctional Center, proclaiming May 4-10 as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week in Warren County, in honor of the men and women whose professionalism, bravery and attention to detail keep our County and citizens safe.
“It’s not an easy job,” Commissioner Director Jason J. Sarnoski noted. Addressing Warden Daniel Broesder and a group of corrections officers on hand to receive the proclamation during the Commissioners’ meeting, Sarnoski said, “For all you do, it’s great that there’s a National Correctional Officers Week to recognize your efforts.”
“The men and women of the Correctional Center do a great job,” Broesder said. “They’re all professional, they’re all problem-solvers. The public doesn’t always see what the correctional center staffers do, but they’re doing a public service and it’s nice for them to be recognized.”
The proclamation noted that the men and women of the Warren County Corrections Police Department are essential to the day-to-day operations of the county Correctional Center, “being brave, courageous and dedicated individuals who put their lives and health at risk daily to keep the citizens of Warren County safe and secure.”
“We’re very thankful for all the work that all of you to keep the county residents safe and also make sure that our inmates are treated in the way they are supposed to be,” Commissioner Lori Ciesla told the correctional officers, adding, “You all do a fabulous job.”
“I truly respect the work that you do each and every day for our County,” Commissioner James R. Kern III said to the officers. County residents are grateful for the well-run facility, as “it keeps us all safe,” Kern said.
National Correctional Officers and Employees Week was established in 1984 by President Ronald Regan to recognize the difficult and often dangerous assignment of ensuring the custody, safety and well-being of the inmates in the nation’s prisons and jails.
