In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187, creating “National Correctional Officers’ Week.” Each year, the first full week in May is recognized as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week, commemorating the contributions of correctional officers and personnel who work in jails, prisons, and community corrections across the country.

The Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office recognizes 2015 National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. We recognize the sacrifices that you make and we thank you for all that you do!
