The true measure of professionals is their attitude and behavior toward the people they serve. Correctional personnel need to be problem solvers rather than task oriented, put the concerns of others before their own, prevent inmates from setting the ground rules for the relationship, recognize their limitations, respect inmates, and take pride in their work and their profession. Achieving professionalism throughout the corrections industry will take time. Corrections employees must first recognize the traits that the public perceives as nonprofessional and then must start to change these traits. Every manager in the organization must support and even mandate that process. The sheriff in the Broward County (FL) Sheriff’s Office has raised the level of professionalism and made it clear that every employee is responsible for professional behavior every day. Photograph
