The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office celebrates National Correctional Officers Week, May 2 through May 8, 2021.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation making the first full week of May a time to recognize the contributions of correctional officers to our nation.
He noted that "the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding."
Reagan wrote "I call upon officials of State and local governments and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities."
