2010 Annual Report - Carroll County Government

A Message from the Warden
George R. Hardinger
On the behalf of Sheriff Kenneth L. Tregoning we are proud to present the Carroll County Detention Center’s 2010
Annual Report. As a department of the Sheriff’s Offi ce we are committed to excellence in public safety and this
report highlights our accomplishments and celebrates the contributions of everyone that helped make our mission a
success.
For those that are interested we routinely open our doors by providing tours of the facility. We are proud of what we do and
how we do it. First adopted in 2008, our motto “Brave Enough To Care, Strong Enough To Lead” refl ects a challenging
commitment to be the best by doing our best. In 2005, we presented our fi ve organizational values: pride, teamwork,
integrity, accountability, and professionalism. Together our motto and core values guide our pursuit of excellence as we
work to accomplish our mission to enhance public safety as expressed in our Vision Statement “to be a model of correctional
professionalism and excellence, where rehabilitation works, security never fails, and there are fewer victims to prove it.”
Late in 2010, a committee of volunteers worked to custom design a challenge coin that we all can carry with pride as a
reminder that individually we can do little, but as a team of committed professionals we can enhance public safety. We can
not forget that COI Sean Davis was assaulted on November 21, 2010, without warning. Despite being seriously injured
Offi cer Davis maintained his composure and struggled to continue his duties. To him we extend a Sheriff’s Salute and our
best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.
According to all available indicators, 2010 was another successful year. Despite the continuing fi scal constraints the CCDC
operated safely, effectively and effi ciently. This is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of everyone that works
within the walls of this facility.
As leaders in corrections we remain committed to do our best to:
• Be a model of honesty, integrity, and commitment.
• Inspire our shared vision of a correctional organization that is second to none.
• Challenge each other to be creative and forward thinking.
• Enable each other through mutual respect and support to celebrate our similarities
and differences.
• Encourage one another by sharing the rewards of our successes and the
disappointment of our failures.
Our objectives for 2011 and beyond are:
• Expand leadership capacity at all levels of the organization.
• Support community service initiatives of our employees.
• Implement a comprehensive employee evaluation process.
• Enhance programs to combat driving under infl uence of alcohol or drugs.
• Strengthen our collaborations with other public safety agencies at every
level.
