In Memory - DOC Fallen Officers
Corrections professionals are tasked with the often challenging job of supervising and managing offenders. In our business, safety and security are paramount. Unfortunately, despite the procedures and security measures in place, the Missouri Department of Corrections has suffered the loss of some outstanding officers over the years. We will never forget the civil servants who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the department and the citizens of Missouri. These staff epitomized the professionalism and commitment to public safety that is the foundation of our mission.
