Board proclaims National Corrections Officers Week; detention corporal honored
Summary
Supervisors declared May 4–10, 2025, National Corrections Officers Week in Pottawattamie County and recognized detention corporal Tony Rebeck as Detention Officer of the Year; staff described internal recognition plans.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors approved a proclamation declaring May 4–10, 2025, as National Corrections Officers Week in the county and recognized detention corporal Tony Rebeck and other detention staff during a brief ceremony.
Nut graf: The proclamation honors correctional staff for roles that include supervision, care and rehabilitation in local facilities and acknowledged the duties and risks correctional staff face while thanking them for their service.
Sheriff’s office staff and supervisors spoke about the range of personnel who contribute to jail operations — detention staff, nursing staff, maintenance and administration — and described internal recognition plans including special meals to cover all shifts during the week. The sheriff’s office said some nursing staff could not attend because of a federal inspection taking place and supervisors asked that May 1 be placed on the county calendar to remember a deputy who died in the line of duty.
Ending: Supervisors approved the proclamation by roll call; no policy or financial changes were tied to the proclamation but several supervisors emphasized the county’s appreciation for detention staff and planned photo opportunities.
