In this role, Senior Correction Officer Kovacs supervises residents participating in vocational programs, including graphic arts and culinary classes, and controls ingress and egress to the vocational building.

“Through his professionalism on the job and his commitment to his community, Correction Officer Robert Kovacs has proven to be a role model and mentor for the juvenile residents in JJC facilities, as well for young people in his community," said Howard L.
