Congratulations to our Officer/Employee of the Month: Correctional Sergeant Marcus Fielden (6.5 years) & from CDM Treatment Jonathan Hines (3 years)!

Kudos to our CDM Chief of Security Barry Kidd. He recently became the latest Davidson County Sheriff’s Office employee to earn the title of Certified Jail Manager by the American Jail Association.

Job well done Cpl. Vongsamphanh and Cpl. Baynham! Both earned our Special Achievement Ribbon for their actions when dealing with a verbally and physically abusive inmate during medical transport. Both corporals demonstrated the experience, foresight, and professionalism needed to keep this incident contained and limit injuries.

Finally, many of our active employees (32) who worked at the recently closed “Workhouse,” when it still had inmates, received a building keepsake.
