interdisciplinary community collaboration.
Carrie Croy began her employment with the Oklahoma
Department of Corrections during October 2003, and has
consistently exceeded standards in her job responsibilities,
which has included supervision of a sex offender caseload since
January 2005. She has served on the Oklahoma Coalition for
Sex Offender Management since 2009 and has participated in
countless presentations, panel discussions and media interviews
related to sex offenders and the challenges associated with their
supervision. Ms. Croy has presented at the agency's Citizen
Leadership Academy three times since 2009 and provided a
speech on sex offender management and associated residential
obstacles at the Oklahoma Prison Re-Entry Initiative held
during 2010.
Officer Croy understands the critical role training plays in
staff development, and because of this, took the initiative to
complete CLEET Basic Instructor School during March 2010
and will soon be assisting the Department of Corrections with
staff training. Officer Croy also does a great deal of researching
evidence based sex offender supervision practices to ensure she
is employing techniques that offer the greatest likelihood of
success. During May 2010, Officer Croy attended the national
Symposium on Sex Offender Management and Accounting in
Portland, Oregon, and upon her return, immediately briefed
her chain of command on developing national trends and
unique supervision strategies other states had put into place.
Officer Croy is a truly selfless employee who can always be
counted on to provide assistance with any project that comes
up; her willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty
to make the agency shine is unquestionable. In addition to
tirelessly serving her employer and the community, Officer
Croy also faithfully served her country in the United States
Navy from February 1992 until January 2001, where she
served as a hospital corpsman providing direct patient care to
active duty personnel. Officer Croy received her Bachelor's of
Arts in Criminal Justice in 2003 and her master's of Science in
Human Services in July 2010.
Officer Croy has truly earned her nomination for the Central
District Community Corrections' 2010 Outstanding Employee
of the Year.
