WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION SWEARS IN NEWLY PROMOTED SERGEANTS, CAPTAINS AND ASSISTANT WARDENS.
(Valhalla, NY) – On Friday, May 6, 2022 the Westchester County Department of Correction (WCDOC) held a formal promotional ceremony for two Assistant Wardens, 15 Captains and 32 Sergeants. It was the largest promotional ceremony in the 54 history of the Correction Department. Contributing to such a large ceremony was the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic, which accelerated senior staff retirements and also prevented WCDOC from hosting smaller ceremonies over the past two years due to safety concerns.
The ceremony began with a call to order, opening prayer and a presentation of the colors by the Department’s Honor Guard, who entered the Westchester Community College Hankin Academic Arts Center accompanied by bagpipers and drummers of the Westchester County Emerald Society.
County Executive George Latimer said: “Losing a large number of senior employees during a short span of time presents many operational challenges, especially at a Correctional Agency. In addition to learning the duties of your new positions you are tasked with replacing hundreds of years of operational knowledge and experience. I commend the DOC Administration for proactively enhancing the training curriculum for all levels of their sworn workforce, which is sure to help the transition to your new positons. It’s especially gratifying to have an event of this nature during National Correctional Professionals Week, a week where we recognize the achievements and advancements made in the field of corrections. Rest assured that my administration will continue to provide resources to support the advancement of our Corrections Department, its workforce and those remanded into their care and custody.”
