National Correctional Employees Week
It is with great pride that we honor all of our staff during National Correctional Employees Week, May 3 – 9.
DOC employees perform a valuable and often unrecognized service to the citizens of Oregon. They represent some of the finest public safety officials in the state and beyond.
No matter what their individual responsibility is – corrections officer, counselor, maintenance worker, education provider, medical or mental health professional, support staff, parole and probation officer, manager, administrator or otherwise – they play an important role in Oregon’s public safety system.
Through their dedication and work to fulfill our mission and implement the Oregon Accountability Model, they keep our prisons safe and operational, and help offenders prepare to become productive, law-abiding members of society. They are exemplary stewards of public safety and accountability.
To all of our valued employees -
For all that you do for DOC, the inmates in our custody and the citizens of Oregon, we are deeply appreciative, grateful and proud to have the opportunity to share in the recognition of your efforts. We are proud of what you do.
With sincere thanks,
