On November 3rd, 2023, Lieutenant Rymer received a distress call from detention officers regarding a struggle with an inmate in distress. Lieutenant Rymer responded to the scene and found detention supervisor Adams and detention officer Vidaurri assisting a female inmate who was attempting to harm herself. Detention officers used techniques that successfully caused the inmate to release the cord she was using. The inmate was transported to the hospital, where she suffered no long-term injuries. These detention officers took immediate and professional actions, preventing a tragedy.
Our detention officers demonstrate remarkable courage and resilience in the face of such critical situations. Their commitment to the safety and well-being of those in their care is truly commendable.
