This resolution, a formal request from the legislative body, asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate the week of May 3-9, 2026, as Correctional Officers and Employees Week in New York State. The resolution highlights the critical role correctional officers and employees play in the state's criminal justice system, emphasizing their demanding work, the dangers they face daily, and their responsibility for the care and custody of inmates. It also notes that this state recognition aligns with a national tradition, originally established as "National Correctional Officers Week" in 1984 and later expanded to include all employees in correctional departments. The resolution concludes by stating that a copy of this request will be sent to the Governor.
