Meanwhile, Director of Prisons Nicklon Elliot charged the ranks and officers to continue to adhere to the established ethical rules in order to maintain a secure and efficient environment in the country’s prisons.
Elliot extended gratitude to the ranks for their contributions as criminal justice professionals, while explaining that their efforts have created an “environment for inmates to acquire the skills and attitude to be effectively reintegrated in their communities.”
On congratulating the medalists, he urged them to continue to conduct themselves in a manner that other ranks can emulate as this would create a sustained environment of efficiency and professionalism.
The ceremony was established to recognise the valuable services given by prison officers, particularly those who inspired other members of staff through their efficiency and dedication to the prison service.
