To recognize the exemplary performance of our custody staff, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department introduced the Officer of the Month Award. This honor is granted to staff members who consistently demonstrate excellence, professionalism, and integrity while carrying out their duties.
The Officer of the Month Award was instituted in February of 2023 to recognize and appreciate the diligence and commitment of our staff. The Command Staff and peers play a crucial role in the selection process, which involves nominations and evaluations. We encourage all of our employees to actively participate in the program by nominating their deserving colleagues.
Congratulations to Suffolk County House of Correction Sergeant Joseph Lee and Suffolk County Jail Officer Kelly Brandano for their selections as January, 2024 Officers of the Month.
