Cape May County Sheriff Announces Corrections Officer of the Year 2011

 

By Press Release

COURT HOUSE – Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer announced that Officer Kourtney Perry was awarded Corrections Officer of the Year at the annual New Jersey Wardens Association Conference held in Atlantic County last week.
Corrections Officer Kourtney Perry was hired as a Corrections Officer on April 3, 2006 by the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office. In Nov. of 2010, Perry was assigned as the Internal Affairs Investigator for the Cape May County Correctional Center. Perry is responsible for all investigations within the institution and assists in background investigations for all new Corrections Officers.
In Feb. of 2011, Corrections Officer Perry received national recognition as a result of her diligent investigation concerning the smuggling of Suboxone into the institution through coloring book pages. This far reaching investigation ultimately resulted in five arrests.
From Jan. through Oct. 2011, Perry criminally charged 51 inmates for offenses that occurred while incarcerated; this volume of criminal charges was unprecedented within the institution. One of the many positive results of this proactive investigatory practice has been a noticeable decline in the damage to facility property by the inmates.
During Perry’s tenure, the Sheriff’s Office has been contacted by representatives from the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office, local police agencies and the court system in regards to her level of excellence.
“Officer Perry has distinguished herself and has brought recognition to the Cape May County Sheriff’s Office. She is more than deserving of the Corrections Officer of the Year Award for Cape May County. Her excellent work ethic is the kind I would like to find in any officer I come in contact with. She is to be commended,” said Sheriff Schaffer.
