The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners declares the week of May 4 - 10, 2025 as Correctional Officers Week in Ramsey County in honor of the dedicated professionals who safeguard the county’s diverse populations.
Since 1984 the United States has recognized the first full week in May as “National Correctional Officers and Employees Week”.
Ramsey County employs more than 300 full-time and intermittent Correctional Officers, Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, and support staff through both the Sheriff’s Office and Community Corrections Department. Ramsey County Correctional Officers are skilled professionals who serve 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to safely, securely, and humanely house individuals within the county, often in the face of complex mental health and medical conditions, violence, and danger.
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners encourages all of Ramsey County residents in the community to celebrate with Correctional Officers in Ramsey County for the essential public service they provide.
