DOJ, Bureau of Prisons leaders honor fallen corrections officers
An American flag and the seal for the Federal Bureau of Prisons is seen at Federal Bureau of Prisons headquarters in Washington, D.C., Oct. 24, 2022.Leaders from the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons gathered on a rainy Tuesday morning in Washington to honor the sacrifice and service of fallen federal correctional officers during National Correctional Officers Week.
"We gather together today to honor the memory of those Bureau employees who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty," Bureau of Prisons Director Colete Peters told the group of family members and leaders gathered at the National Law Enforcement Memorial.
"Our country is made better because of the dedication of the public servants that make up the Bureau of Prisons," she said. "Those who go to work for the Bureau of Prisons, who answer the call to serve, often put themselves in harm's way to do demanding and dangerous jobs. They go about that work quietly, often without praise or thanks, simply hoping to carry out their work protecting their communities and then return safely home to their families.
