ACCC Honors Home Detention Officers/Special Deputies for “2023 National Police Week”

During “National Police Week,” we honor the brave men and women in who put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve our communities and pay special tribute those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty while serving and protecting others. We thank them for their service and sacrifice and stand with them in solidarity. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the dedication and hard work of our law enforcement officers everywhere and express our gratitude for all that they sacrifice to keep us safe.

The history of “National Police Week” dates back to 1962, when President Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15th as “National Peace Officers Memorial Day.” This day was set aside to honor law enforcement officers who had fallen or been disabled while serving their communities. The calendar week in which May 15th falls was then designated as “National Police Week,” in recognition of the devoted and selfless work of law enforcement officers to protect the communities and citizens of our nation through the enforcement of our laws, regardless of the peril or hazard to themselves.

In 1994, President Bill Clinton amended the declaration to include the direction that the United States flag on all government buildings be flown at half-staff on May 15th, unless that day is also “Armed Forces Day,” which is commemorated on the third Saturday in May.

Join us this week as we honor and extend our heartfelt appreciation and thanks to our own Home Detention Officers/Special Deputies for their commitment to protect and serve.  Our law enforcement team works tirelessly putting their lives on the line every day to protect ours and to ensure the safety and well-being of our participants and community. Their dedication and commitment to serving the public is a shining example of the selflessness and bravery that characterizes our law enforcement community. Thank you for all that you do, and for your service to our community!

ACCC Honors Employees for Correctional Officers & Employees Week

Happy National Correctional Officers and Correctional Employee Week to all of the hardworking individuals at Allen County Community Corrections! We want to take the opportunity this week to recognize and express our appreciation for our team’s dedication and commitment to behavior change and community safety.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first full week of May as “National Correctional Officer/Employee Week” to honor correctional officers who demonstrate professionalism, integrity, and strength in their challenging and demanding work environment. The following year, this same week was also established as “Public Service Recognition Week” to acknowledge all federal, state, county, and local government employees who work tirelessly to serve their communities and promote and protect the public interest.

ACCC employs and supports a large team who serve as agents of change in the field.  Join us in thanking them for their dedication and commitment to their duties, working daily to promote those we serve while also focusing on the well-being of our community. Their compassion and professionalism are a testament to their unwavering commitment to rehabilitation and to justice. We are grateful for the skills and sacrifices made every day and for the positive impact each ACCC employee has.

Join us in recognizing and thanking all of our dedicated employees during this very special week.

To our excellent team- thank you for all that you do! Your hard work and dedication truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many Allen County residents.  We are grateful to have each of you.

Happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week to ACCC Communications Division Staff!       

Occurring this year from April 9th through April 15th, National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (NPSTW) is celebrated every second week of April to express gratitude and to acknowledge and honor the often unseen work of telecommunications personnel in public safety.

Seventeen (17) telecommunications staff are employed by ACCC in its Communications Division, working around-the-clock and 365 days per year. Thousands and thousands of phone calls from ACCC program participants are received and handled yearly by ACCC’s Communications staff, comprised of both Dispatchers and Monitoring Technicians.  Each of these interactions require a sense of calm while simultaneously demonstrating assertiveness, kindness, compassion, empathy, and respect when assisting participants in their times of stress, worry, and uncertainty.

In addition to closely monitoring the precise locations of hundreds of individuals who are court-ordered to GPS monitoring each day, Communications staff process participants’ weekly schedules, install and troubleshoot participants’ monitoring equipment,  and provide safety and classic dispatch services to ACCC’s Home Detention Officers/Special Deputies.  To effectively manage these important duties in their professional roles, the Communications Division staff must possess and demonstrate many hidden superpowers which include maintaining calm when chaos presents itself, efficiently multi-tasking while under great pressure, reading and typing faster than the speed of light, actively listening with focused determination to hear fine details and collect all information needed to relay to Officers in the field and ensure their safety, and super strength to pick themselves back up when needed!

ACCC acknowledges and honors each of their public safety telecommunicators during the week of April 9th.  ACCC thanks you for your tireless efforts, professionalism, and dedication to the mission of ACCC and to public safety. Agency-wide and county-wide, each of you truly makes a difference.

Those Who Live in Freedom Will Always Be Grateful To Those Who Helped Preserve It

Initially established to celebrate world peace and the end of World War I, Veterans Day has evolved from “Armistice Day” into a national holiday honoring current and former members of the United States Armed Forces who swore an oath to protect our country.

Each year on November 11th, we recognize and honor the millions of men and women who have selflessly answered the call to serve in our nation’s armed forces. Our country’s greatness is built on the foundation of their courage and sacrifice.

On this Veterans Day, let us commit to always remember and honor the contributions made by our nation’s veterans; let us show our appreciation for those who have been willing to risk it all to ensure our nation and our values endure.

To those who have served and those who continue to serve, ACCC wishes you a Happy Veterans Day! We owe you our thanks, but more than that we owe you our freedom. To those who secure our way of life… Thank You for your bravery, your service, and your sacrifice.

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother and serves, as he best can, the same cause” – Abraham Lincoln
