VENTURA — For 40 years, the first full week of May has been recognized as National Correctional Officers Week. This week provides a platform to recognize the sacrifices and dedication of these unsung heroes. As a 24/7, 365 days a year operation, Corrections Services Officers for the Ventura County Probation Agency serve a vital role in public safety.
“Corrections Services Officers serve a vital role in public safety, one that often goes unnoticed,” shared Chief Probation Officer Gina Johnson. “Their responsibility of caring for youth and young adults at our Juvenile Facilities is monumental. They have an unwavering dedication to their jobs, to the youth and young adults, and to each other. It is befitting that they have a week dedicated in their honor!”
