Police officer, corrections officer , EMT , fireman and at times counselors. Yet just prison guard pay. How sad these civil cervants heroes don’t get the paid and recognition protecting society for all they do and deserve. Don’t forget unsung heroes protecting your six.
Great job! Need more officers willing to do this work as exemplified by officer Norman!
Thank you, Officer Norman! Your action probably saved some lives.
The question one must asked themselves is, “Where was the cocaine stashed while the visitor gained access to the facility”.
Good job! There have been news reports of Correctional officers in prisons providing drugs to inmates. Stopping outsiders from bringing in contraband stops competition… Thankfully that’s not the case here!
Good job Officer Norman. Thanks for your service.
