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 for correctional officers and personnel who work in jails, prisons, and community corrections across the country who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who continue to face the daily dangers and challenges within their respective facilities.
Sheriff Kurt J. Schneider and the entire Ashland County Sheriff's Office will observe and celebrate National Correctional Officers' Week in recognition of the excellent work the Ashland County Corrections staff is doing to keep our County safe. When you have the opportunity to see one of them, please let them know how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication to excellence.
