Bruce Morrison, Correctional Officer of the Year
Nominated by Lt. Regina Ray & A/Sgt. Xavier Blackburn
Correctional Officer Rodney Wilson has never forgotten why he became an Officer of the Law. He is an efficient, professional and dedicated Correctional Officer. His pursuit for justice and his caring attitude has made him a strong leader within the Sheriff’s Department.
Officer Wilson works diligently and efficiently under the strenuous work load mandated in the Correctional Division. During his years of service he has served as a Training Officer in Corrections and as a member of the S.O.R.T team.
Due to his attention to detail he has, on many occasions, discovered drugs and contraband within our jail. His proactive attitude towards his duties has made the jail a safer place for our staff, visitors and detainees.
Officer Wilson volunteers with the Auxiliary Deputy Association where he serves as a Sergeant supervising our Mounted Patrol. He is called upon on to participate in special events, funerals and other public functions. You will never hear Officer Wilson say “NO”, to any assignment or task given to him.
Some might say Officer Wilson is excitable and opinionated about his belief to making our department better. He truly cares about his job, the officers he works with and the citizens of St. Clair County. His never-ending quest to make this department the best that it can be does not stop at the walls and bars of the jail.
Officer Wilson is truly sincere and honorable in every aspect of his professional and personal life. He is a forward thinking Correctional Officer and is always trying to come up with new and better ways to do things.
Correctional Officer Rodney Wilson has justly earned the Bruce Morrison, Correctional Officer of the Year award for 2009.
