    This award could not have gone to a more upstanding and respectful individual than Sergeant Jack Coppenger. Congratulations to you, sir! You do an incredible job working with felons and volunteering your time in the community. You are the epitome of a model Correctional Officer. I wish there were more like you.

    Congratulations Jack! We’re so proud of you ~ I’m so glad the Lord has placed you in this position. I know this is where your heart is…helping inmates & getting them ready for society once again. I know you’re thankful for the verse the Lord gave you a couple of years ago. Acts 26:18 ~ To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Thanks also to all the amazing volunteers who come out & work with the inmates to help make the re-entry program successful. You are investing in the future of so many lives! You’re following in your dad’s footsteps & he’d be proud, too!
    Love, Renee & the kids
