EWING
- The New Jersey Juvenile Justice
Commission (JJC) recently honored
Victor Daly as its 2005 Parole
Officer of the Year. Officer Daly
was cited for his professionalism
and dedication.
Officer Daly began his career
in JJC in 1996 as a parole officer
assigned to the northern counties
of the state. He was promoted
to Senior Parole Officer in August
1997. He is currently responsible
for the delivery of parole services
to Middlesex County.
Officer
Daly has a Bachelor’s Degree
from Rutgers University in the
Administration of Justice. In
October 1999, he completed the
Top Gun Training for the Statewide
Narcotics Task Force. His dedication
to excellence resulted in his
election, in 2004, as Central
Region Vice President of PBA Local
#326 which represents parole officers.
He is active in the community
as a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
and as a member of the Middlesex
County Outreach Program. Officer
Daly was previously recognized
as the Officer of the Year in
2000.
“I
chose this career opportunity
because of my desire to work with
at-risk youth and their families,”
said Officer Daly. “The
Juvenile Justice Commission has
given me the opportunity to serve
in a law enforcement capacity.”
“Through
his professionalism on the job
and his commitment to his community,
Parole Officer Victor Daly has
proven to be a role model and
mentor for the juvenile residents
in JJC facilities as well as for
young people in his community,"
said Howard L. Beyer, Executive
Director of the Juvenile Justice
Commission. "The JJC is committed
to realizing the potential of
the
youth in its care and helping
them change the direction of their
futures. Our dedicated and experienced
law enforcement staff play a critical
role in fulfilling this mission."
The Juvenile Justice Commission
employs approximately 41 highly
trained parole officers. Each
officer is required to have a
bachelor’s degree and must
complete an intensive training
course at the JJC's Training Academy,
which not only includes physical
training, CPR and written exercises,
but teaches officers to communicate
with youth and instructs staff
on techniques to diffuse tense
situations.
This award is bestowed annually
upon one officer from the JJC’s
Office of Parole and Transitional
Services. The recipient of this
award is selected based on outstanding
job performance, exemplary work
records, and service to the community.
The award is given in conjunction
with a proclamation issued by
New Jersey Acting Governor Richard
J. Codey declaring the week of
May 2-6 as "Correctional
Officer Appreciation Week."
The proclamation recognizes the
men and women who uphold justice
and keep New Jersey's communities
safe through their dedication
and experience.
