“I work here because I went to school for criminal justice. I like what I do and I like working here. I love my co-workers. They become your family.”
“I found my way into corrections by applying for a Deputy job. I found out with my lack of experience in Law Enforcement that I would need to start in corrections first therefore I took the opportunity offered in corrections. After finding out the benefits that came with this opportunity and the amount of on the job training, it has become one the best decisions I have made. It has also opened the door for so many other opportunities within the county.”
