PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey today is expressing thanks for the state’s correctional officers and their dedication to public safety as he marks Arizona Correctional Officers and Employees Week.
“Arizona’s correctional officers and employees are the unsung heroes of law enforcement,” said Governor Ducey. “Every hour of every day, they show up to work and encourage, motivate and guide the men and women who are paying their debt to society. The job of a correctional officer is demanding and tough, and Arizona is grateful for their service, dedication and sacrifice.”
The governor met this afternoon with correctional officers and employees of the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR), and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC). He expressed his deep gratitude for the work of the departments to routinely provide direction, rehabilitative services and behavioral intervention for inmates.
ADCRR and ADJC Corrections Officers prepare inmates to reenter society as better citizens through educational, skills-based training, recidivism reduction and behavioral programs – always with a focus on public safety.
