 The
American Correctional Officer Intelligence Network is proud to serve the
many of our men and women who walk the halls of our nation's toughest
jails and prisons. To better assist, and support them we have
compiled a members handbook that explains, and describes the many services
provided by ACOIN, and ACO.

 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
members of the American Correctional Officer we are constantly
addressing issues related to 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 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.
Please
take time to nominate a fellow officer who you feel has gone “Beyond
the Call of Duty” and deserves the opportunity to be recognized as a
Medal of Honor nominee.
Please join us in congratulating the winners
at the American Correctional Officer National Convention Medal of
Honor Awards Banquet and ceremony in Flagstaff, Arizona on September
26, 2008.

ACO On the Attack
ACO’s efforts and those of several other leading corrections
unions and associations across the nation have spurred the private
prison industry into action. The article below shows how much of an
impact the legislation we are supporting is having. One piece of
legislation, the Private Prison Information Act, was originally drafted
by ACO/ACOIN Executive Director Brian Dawe and former ACO President
Richard Loud.
When you support ACO/ACOIN
you are supporting your profession from coast to coast. How do you fight
an organization that has so much money to spend? We fight it with the
truth. But in order to combat them we need your support now more than
ever. It costs a lot of money to run ads, do the research and travel
across the nation to confront these corporations. We have recently been
involved in defeating private prison initiatives in Doan Springs,
Arizona and in Savinaw, Oklahoma. We can’t do it without your support,
join us today!

ACO
and ACOIN wish you and yours the
very best for 2008.
In our first year we have made
some incredible gains and distributed hundreds of pages of timely
information to help our fellow Officers across the nation. One of our
greatest accomplishments is the establishment of and contributions to TEN
BENEVOLENT FUNDS, to help our brothers and sisters across the land. The
level of contributions we make are the direct result of the number of
individual members we have. The more of you who join the more Officers and
their families we can help. >>Continue<<
