Yates County Sheriffs Office / May 3, 2026
National Correctional Officers Week – 05.03.26-05.09.26
This week, Yates County Sheriff’s Office wishes to recognize the dedication to service of the men and women working in our correctional facilities. National Correctional Officers Week shines a light on those public servants who are the unsung heroes of the law enforcement profession, handling individuals at what is sometimes their lowest point in life.
In 1984, former President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5187, designating the first full week in May as National Correctional Officers Week. See the full proclamation here: https://nsajails.org/proclamation-5187/
