Kankakee County Recorder

During Correctional Officers Week, we recognize the men and women who serve behind the walls often without recognition, but never without purpose. The job of a correctional officer is one of the toughest in public safety. It demands constant vigilance, professionalism, and the ability to make critical decisions in difficult and sometimes dangerous situations.

The correctional staff of Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office rise to that challenge every single day. They maintain order, ensure safety, and treat those in their custody with dignity, fairness, and respect. Their work is not easy, but it is essential to the strength of our justice system and the safety of our communities.

Kankakee County is fortunate to have such a dedicated and committed group of professionals. These men and women are true heroes, and their service does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your hard work, your resilience, and your unwavering dedication.

Please join me in congratulating and welcoming back (from L to R) Officer N. Draper, Officer J. Rimmer, Officer C. Milner, and Officer K. Klipp following their successful completion of the Basic Correctional Officer course through the Police Training Institute. Their graduation on Friday marks a significant milestone in their careers and reflects their commitment to serving with professionalism, integrity, and dedication.

Congratulations to their entire 26-21 graduating class. Their achievement not only reflects their individual hard work, but also strengthens the professionalism and capabilities of our entire team. We are proud to have them back and look forward to the positive impact they will continue to make in our community.
