Sheriff Carmine Marceno spent time today visiting our Corrections staff at the CORE facility to personally thank them for their dedication and service to the community. Our corrections officers do far more than people often see.They maintain safety, but they also mentor, de-escalate, and help individuals find a path forward. Every day, they balance firmness with fairness, structure with compassion, and accountability with opportunity.They’re part of the community, not separate from it; working behind the scenes to support rehabilitation, reduce repeat offenses, and ultimately make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.It’s not easy work, and it rarely gets the spotlight. But it matters. And so do the people who do it.#ThankACorrectionsOfficerToday#NationalCorrectionalOfficersWeek ... See MoreSee Less
