Agenda Item Text:
Approve a proclamation to declare the first week of May 2020 as National Correctional Officers and Employees week in Cochise County.
Background:
On May 5, 1984, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, delivered a proclamation designating the first week in May as National Correctional Officers Week. The importance of all staff members who serve cannot be overstated, because each has an important role, whether civilian or security staff. Those who serve in the field can easily identify with the depth and spirit found in the context the nearly 40-year old proclamation. The President—and possibly the Nation—began to recognize that we are no longer “guards,” but trained professionals.
