Assembly Resolution No. 434

BY: M. of A. Jones

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 4-10, 2025, as Correctional Officers and
 Employees Week in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, The operation of correctional facilities represents a
crucial component of the criminal justice system in the United States,
and correctional personnel play a vital role in protecting the rights of
the public to be safeguarded from criminal activity; and

 WHEREAS, There are over 16,178 corrections officers and employees in
the State of New York who oversee the State's correctional facilities,
along with over 5,000 correction officers and employees in the City of
New York who oversee the City's correctional facilities; and

 WHEREAS, These officers gallantly report to work every day and are
responsible for the care, custody, and maintenance of more than 31,329
incarcerated individuals charged to their care in the State of New York,
and more than 7,200 incarcerated individuals charged to their care in
the City of New York; and

 WHEREAS, In the course of their duties, corrections officers work
under physically and mentally demanding circumstances and face danger in
their daily work lives, often protecting society from some of the worst
offenders and criminals; and

 WHEREAS, Corrections officers truly exemplify bravery and an
unwavering commitment to their community and State, and deserve the
utmost respect and appreciation from the people of the State of New
York; and

 WHEREAS, In 1984, former President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation
5187, which designated the first full week in May as "National
Correctional Officers Week" in honor of corrections officers who put
their lives on the line every day to protect the public from dangerous
criminals and to help incarcerated individuals work toward becoming
productive members of society; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body recognizes the indispensable
contributions that corrections officers make every day to protect our
citizens from harm, and honor all corrections officers and employees;
now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 4-10, 2025, as
Correctional Officers and Employees Week in the State of New York; and
be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to any and all groups throughout New York that represent and
support Corrections Officers.
