I personally want to extend a huge amount of gratitude and appreciation to our Correctional Staff here at the Knox County Correctional Facility. The men and women here are consummate professionals that are dedicated to providing exceptional service to the people we serve here at Knox County and beyond. President Ronald Reagan stated in 1984 when he issued Proclamation 5187, that Correctional Officers roles, "have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory, and counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect." That statement is just as accurate today as it was then.
Thank you to all Correctional Officers!!
Stay safe!
