As National Correctional Officers week comes to an end, I want to honor our staff for all their hard work, mostly behind the walls of the Jail. They’re our heroes protecting our community silently and unseen! Your professionalism and commitment to security and rehabilitation for those incarcerated is appreciated!

Also, our employees are considered Jailer/Dispatchers. Some of our employees have primary duties but are asked to cross train as well, assisting each other.
National Public Safety Telecommunicators week was in April and we recognize all the work that is done in our facility including unseen first responders, the call-takers and emergency specialists of Cottonwood County!!

Thanks to ALL who serve as Correctional Officers and First Responders in our Nation!
