Acts
of valor are a common occurrence in our profession. Every year
throughout our correctional facilities officers perform great acts of
courage, usually under extreme conditions and without recognition for
their efforts and sense of personal safety. All too often, these acts
of heroism are overlooked, and unfortunately never given recognition
by the general public, the media, their departments, and regrettably
their own unions.
As
Corrections Professionals we are constantly striving for image
enhancement, updated state of the art safety equipment and supplies,
and ultimately keeping the public informed about the dangers
surrounding the corrections profession.
In
our continuous efforts to keep our corrections professionals at the
forefront of the Law Enforcement occupation, we have planned the
American Correctional Officer Medal Of Honor Award
distinguishing those officers who have performed selflessly and
without regard for danger to themselves in performing their everyday
duties.
