County commissioners often tout the importance of law enforcement, especially Comal County Sheriffâs Office personnel who patrol our streets and serve inside the county jail.
Last week, they issued a proclamation designating May 2-8 as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. On Thursday, they will recognize National Police Week and light up the Courthouse bell tower in blue on Friday to commemorate National Peace Officers Memorial Day, honoring those who were injured or lost their lives in the line of duty.
Last week, corrections officers received a proclamation for their hard work.
âThe jailers who work for the county are second to none â the knowledge these men and women possess Iâll put up against any in the state of Texas,â said Maj. Bill Jennings, Comal County Jail administrator, who was joined by more than dozen staffers and licensed correctional officers serving inside the countyâs new 582-bed facility.
