Employee of the Month

Non Custody
Ken Hovis, FUM

Ken Hovis, FUM, volunteers to work overtime on third shift each week to ensure that a Corrections Officer I will have the chance to go home to their family and not have to be mandated to work overtime. He has sacrificed time away from his family to assist with covering shift each week. FUM Hovis goes above and beyond with The Corrections Way and does his best to implement it in everyday operations. He takes it upon himself to meet with new staff members when they start with the department to show them they are welcome and what to expect working with the department. FUM Hovis’ knowledge of policy helps his Housing Unit supervisors excel. He helps bridge the gap between custody and non-custody. He is a Corrections Way Ambassador for FCC as well. FUM Hovis is a big help and a valued member of the Missouri Department of Corrections

Custody
David Asher, COII     

David Asher is the epitome of what a great sergeant should be. He works well with both senior staff leaning on their experience and brand-new officers showing them what they need to know to do their job correctly. At any time, he is helping to run A-Side yard on third shift like a well-oiled machine. Sergeant Asher is willing to do what is necessary to settle or resolve the many situations that happen on his shift. He is firm but fair with the offenders. He easily wears the many hats needed to run A- Side yard on third shift. I am honored to nominate David Asher as Employee of the month.

Employee of the Year

Matt Petty, CCM III

Matt Petty is the person to go to if you want to “get stuff done!” He was tasked with hosting the Global Leadership Summit virtually at FCC. This is a task that could take a year to organize but Matt made it happen in a few short weeks! He organized an offender committee, secured donations for food, screened hundreds of offender applications to attend, extended multiple invitations to staff and ensured the success of the two day event. As a participate, I can attest that even with the storms, power outages, and the potential for no pizza, it was a huge success and we did, in fact have pizza. He made all of this happen even though part of his own roof was in his yard as a result of the storm!

Matt is an outstanding team player who will help anyone at a moment’s notice, provide support, instruction, and even breakfast if you need it. He is an invaluable member of the Reentry team. His work and great sense of humor are very much appreciated

Employees of the Month

Marsha Galvan, ACII     

Marsha is nothing but kind to each and every person she comes across. She is beyond helpful and has to be encouraged to come away from her desk for a lunch break many of times because of how hard of a worker she is. You don’t even have to ask her for help, if she sees you need it, she just helps without any prompt at all. She has walked all the as to staff dining to pick up someone’s lunch because they said their leg was hurting them, she worked until she was forced to leave for the day just to make someone else’s workload was lighter, and she does it all with a smile. Marsha is also a fantastic counselor. She goes above and beyond finding resources for offenders in the treatment program, she treats each and every one of them with respect, and she makes time for anyone who needs to talk to her. She deserves recognition for her selflessness and for her hard work here at Farmington Treatment Center

Custody
Derrick Johnson, COII

Sergeant Johnson handles every situation with calmness and professionalism. He goes out of his way to ensure everything runs smooth for out counts, Code 16 within the facility, and when others are having it rough he lightens the morale. He is always available for questions and if you are unsure what to do he explains the steps of how to complete the task at hand. He makes the shift go by fast even in most stressed scenarios

PPSIII

I am nominating Jason Vinson for Employee of the Month due to his continuous dedication to team work here at FCC. Whenever we have an issue here in recreation, we know that Jason will help us as quick as he and his staff can. He is constantly doing his best to juggle numerous issues that we have here at FCC. His actions make our jobs in Recreation so much easier in that we can maintain our buildings and equipment to give the offenders the best recreation experience possible. When the offenders have their recreation everyone at FCC benefits.

Custody
CO I Daniel Lindell

COI Daniel Lindell always goes above and beyond in his job duties in housing unit 6. He is usually responsible for 80 percent of the cell searches, pat searches, and IP checks. He has discovered numerous items while searching such as prison made weapons, drugs, and other items that are not allowed in the housing unit. COI Lindell volunteers to come in early five days a week to help staff get relief when they are mandated to work overtime. He is respectful to staff and offenders, as well as always professional in his job duties. As his direct supervisor, I am profoundly grateful to have him as part of the housing unit 6 team.

CO I Aaron Yates

It is with great pleasure that I am nominating COI Aaron Yates for the Employee of the Month! COI Yates is absolutely essential to the day to day operations in HU9. In addition to his assigned tasks, which are numerous and keep him very busy, COI Yates is quick to volunteer for all of the added responsibilities that come with just being in housing unit 9. He speaks with the SRU offenders daily to help solve issues they are having and will bring problems to the attention of the Case Manages/FUM of the house for corrections. COI Yates takes the time to listen and attempts to resolve the issues before they become a bigger problem and potentially a security threat. Aaron has built a rapport with many offenders and this has come in handy when having to be the liaison between custody and mental health staff. COI Yates is knowledgeable in all areas of HU9 and can complete any duty assigned seamlessly. He requires very little supervision and is a leader to the other staff members in the house, especially officers who are not regularly assigned to the unit. It is for these reasons that Aaron should be considered as the Custody Employee of the Month at FCC!

VES II Bob Polk

Bob is an asset and unsung hero in the FCC laundry. He currently runs the dry cleaning department within the laundry single-handedly. Even when the job would overwhelm the average individual, Bob maintains a positive attitude and a sense of humor. He has made himself available to come in early, stay late, or work a RDO; whether he is asked or just

saw the need. He is always the first to volunteer to take on more job duties. He does this without complaints.  He has a vast knowledge of dry cleaning, and is always happy to help train others in the job duties of dry cleaning. I feel he is definitely an exceptional employee and deserves the recognition he has certainly earned.

Custody
CO I Cody Glidewell

On Saturday May 13, 2023 while working over on 3^rd i on B-yard an offender was having a severe medical emergency. Upon entering the medical unit, medical personnel was redirected to attend an additional medical emergency. COI Cody Glidewell provided aide by retaining the consciousness of the offender. In doing so, the previously preoccupied medical staff was able to better assess the offender upon their return.

Chris is knowledgeable in his job, and what he doesn’t know he is eager to learn. Chris is dependable, always willing to help, and is a joy to work with, as well as talk to.

MS II Dean Wampler

I want to take the opportunity to nominate MSII Dean Wampler, as FCC Employee of the Month. FCC has recently incurred two major water line break within a three week period of time. With this, I am reminded yet again of Dean’s maintenance and supervisory talent. I have witnessed Dean handle these situations with great calmness and skill. Dean is knowledgeable of his position, but what is also very impressive is his handling of his staff and the offender workers. He communicates well and he speaks and directs with respect and confidence. He also uses these moments of infrastructure crisis to teach valuable skills to the offender workers. They respond well to his guidance and the humor in which he interacts with them. He and his team work until the job is done. What Dean brings to the table is invaluable to our institution. As an aging facility, “The Dean Team” Keeps this place moving and operating.

Custody
CO I Kimberly Cook

CO I Kimberly Cook has a vast knowledge and understanding of many institutional functions that most staff not only don’t know, but honestly don’t even want to recognize actually exists. She has made herself an indispensable member of this institution. She has become a “go to” staff member for not only her fellow COI’s but for all other staff. She is continually called on by supervisors throughout the custody ranking as well as the non-custody and case management staff to help with issues as well as problems. She is even utilized to help new staff of all ranks to learn bed move and transfer procedures. On top of all this she also manages to come in early multiple times a week and assist first shift. She volunteers to step out of her normal duties and goes out on transfers with transportation and on outcounts to help relieve some of the staffing pressure. COI Cook has been called on to mentor staff that are wanting to cross train in the control center and learn the position and its many varied components.

Awards & Recognition

CCM II Cheryl Whitnell 

Cheryl Whitnell has proven time and again that she is willing and capable of stepping up above her position and completing tasks at supervisory levels while continuing to complete her own tasks in required time frames, often sooner. She has made herself an indispensable member of the staff. Additionally, she is a person that other staff look up to and go to with questions and problem-solving assistance. This happens with staff from all ranks and shifts. She is also often willing to step out of her comfort zone and learn new things, while also being willing to help others learn and grow themselves. She always performs above and beyond and I believe deserves more recognition for all of this than can be expressed in a log note.

CO I Connie Jones

COI Connie Jones is an excellent control room officer. She is always aware of officers in the wings and in emergency situations, makes sure to get us in as quickly as possible. She is very good at taking time to train new officers and answering any questions they may have. I know that when I am not in the house that Mrs. Jones has it all under control and I need not worry. She takes on tasks with ease and is always dependable. She is a great asset to the department and to housing unit 6.

He has done an incredible job at making the Locksmith shop clean and organized and he found parts that have saved the institution hundreds of dollars.  Dalton’s mechanical abilities and quick learning has not given us any worries.  He is currently training the new Locksmith and undoubtedly will do a great job.

Puppy Pic

A few months ago, two representatives from the Dogs for our Brave organization gave a presentation at Farmington Correctional Center to Puppies for Parole, Restorative Justice Organization (RJO), and Veterans of Farmington and Associates (VFA) offenders. Dogs for Our Brave is an organization committed to providing injured veterans a service dog at no cost to the veteran. Rescue dogs receive professional training over an 18 month period. Around the 12 to 15 month mark, dogs are paired with a veteran, and begin specialized training to meet the needs of their matched veteran. What sets apart Dogs for Our Brave from other organizations, is they cover the costs of the dog, for the life of the dog, including training, food, veterinarian care, etc. Dogs for Our Brave is currently based out of St. Louis, MO and rely strictly on donations to cover the services they provide, which can average $18,000 to $25,000 just during the training period alone. They are working diligently to expand their operations so even more veterans can receive a service dog. By using rescue dogs, they are not only changing veteran’s lives, they are also giving dogs a second chance at life. During the presentation, service dog Jay provided a demonstration of some of the skills service dogs are trained in to assist with the needs of the veterans,

SK David Williamson       

Dave is the manager at Canteen.  He is dedicated to making the canteen run with efficiency and with high expectations.  He comes to work every day to make sure everything is ready for the day.  He works hard on contracts, price changes and submitting bids to outside companies to try and get the products for the offenders.  He gets bombarded with questions daily about not getting something and he can't control that.  He maintains his professionalism at all times when dealing with outside vendors and companies.  He runs the biggest canteen in the state with the biggest budget in the state and he makes it work.  He has a fantastic team to work beside him which, in part, is a result of his great leadership qualities.  If he takes a vacation or time off, every one of them knows how to step up and run the canteen on those days.  He was behind the inspiration on my journey to Storekeeper II.  He is a great example of how a boss/leader should be.

Custody

CO I Tiffany Noe 

In just the short time of working with COI Noe I recognized her outstanding leadership skills, She conducts herself in such a professional manner.  When addressing behavioral issues with the offenders, she takes the time to explain to them the expectations and consequences of not following the rules.  She is always looking out for the safety of those around her.  Helping to make the housing unit a safer place for staff to work and the offenders to live.  Officer Noe had been sent out to the hospital on two separate occasions for drug exposure when dealing with offenders under the influence of unknown substances.  Even with the dangers of those situations, she still continues to push forward with a positive attitude to help her fellow staff.  Officer Noe is a wonderful addition to the DOC.  I am proud to have her as a coworker and trust that if things go bad, she has our back.  Thank you Noe for your strong work ethic and just know, that your compassion for others does not go unnoticed. 

Officer Noe has been extremely helpful to me since starting in HU6. She has trained me on how to perform all the necessary tasks that HU6 requires, and has helped me become a better officer. I know that she always has my back in the House at all times, and that means a lot in this job.

Officer Noe performs her duties in an outstanding manner. She has taken initiatives that have resulted in significant contributions to the Department.

VT Tracy Bricker        

Mrs. Tracy Bricker has been instrumental in the Commercial Vehicle Operator Course at the Farmington Correctional Center. She has a rotating class of 15 students that she is responsible for. She has taken on the responsibility of pre-screening her potential student's Career and Technical Education Applications. In addition, she works closely with the Central Transfer Authority to submit and process student transfers, and tracks when a student arrives at FCC to ensure they are promptly enrolled into her class. By completing these tasks, she has ensured that the application process is not only streamlined, but it reduces the work load of her supervisor.

Mrs. Bricker has also spent countless hours trying to better her program, and to help set her students up for success after they are released. She set up an informational meeting with Southern Missouri Trucking School for her students, the vocational zone manager, Chris Farmer, the IPO Ms. Pickett, and her supervisor, Mike Johnson. She organized the use of A-Visit, movement of students to A-Visit, and clearance for the owner of Southern Missouri Trucking School. During the meeting, Mrs. Bricker took it upon herself to check each students Selective Service status, which helps the application process for the school. In addition, she has worked on getting the Missouri Highway Patrol to return to the Farmington Correctional Center to perform the paper CDL team so that her students can be released from the institution and be able to obtain their CDL permit.

As you can see, Mrs. Tracy Bricker has gone above and beyond her pay grade to ensure her students and programs are not only successful, but meet the department's mission of "Improving lives for safer communities".  

Custody

CO I Ryan Hannah 

COI Hanna is absolutely essential to the day to day operations in HU #5. In addition to his assigned tasks, which are numerous and keep him very busy, COI Hanna is quick to volunteer for all the added responsibilities that come with just being in housing unit 5. He speaks with the offenders daily to help solve issues they are having and will bring problems to the attention of the Case Managers/FUM of the house for correction. COI Hanna takes the time to listen and attempts to resolve issues before they become a bigger problem and potentially a security threat. COI Hanna has built a rapport with many offenders, this has come in handy when having to be the liaison between custody and mental health or medical staff. COI Hanna is knowledgeable in all areas of HU #5 and can complete any duty assigned seamlessly. He requires very little supervision and is a leader to other staff members in the house, especially officers who are not regularly assigned.

Awards & Recognition

Great job to the FCC Dog Team for placing 3^rd at the Algoa Dog Team Competition. The teams participated in a night trail and a day trail to find “runners” who had concealed themselves in the woods. Overall the dog team did great and were a very professional group.  Good Job Daryl and Carman for being such great pups!

Employee of the Month

Storekeeper I David Davis        

I am nominating David Davis for Employee of the Month because of his work ethic. He is always willing to go the extra mile to get the job accomplished no matter what the task. He is always quick with a joke or a smile to brighten someone's day. Unless life gets in the way, he is always at work when scheduled and on time. Even though at times it seems like more and more work gets added on him, he manages to always get the job or tasks accomplished. He is a great person to work with and around. DOC needs more employees like him here. He is willing to train new people and help out wherever he can.  

Custody

CO I Casey Webb 

During 3rd Shift at approximately 5:30pm on 7/6/2022, CO I Casey Webb noticed that CO II Benjamin Helm wasn't feeling well, he said he just needed to set down for a bit. When he did CO I Webb observed signs that CO II Helm was possibly suffering from symptoms consistent with a stroke. CO I Webb then contacted the 3rd Shift Supervisor and advised him of what was going on with CO II Helm. CS I Kyle Webb then contacted medical staff to respond to the Control Center and give a medical assessment of CO II Helm. Medical staff advised CS I Webb that CO II Helm needed to be sent offsite to the Emergency Room for further trreatment as his blood pressure was extremely high. CO II Helm was transported to Parkland Hospital by CO III Jerrel Hollinger where he was treated and had apparently suffered a stroke. Thanks to CO I Webb's observations and quick actions she helped get CO II Helm treatment that may have prevented serious long term side effects up to including death.

Puppy Pic

Chloe is a one year old Shepherd/Lab mix who weighs approximately 56 pounds. She is a very high energy dog who is focusing on learning her basic commands and greeting people politely. She did show signs of separation anxiety when she first arrived; however, her confidence has already greatly improved. Notes from the partnering shelter indicate Chloe is good with children. 

Thor is a nine month old Black Mouth Cur mix who weighs approximately 39 pounds. Thor has shown some signs of food aggression and will not be adopted to a home with small children. He likes women, but it takes him awhile to warm up to most men. He is treat motivated and is catching on to his training very quickly. He is working on taking treats more gently as he is always in a rush to get his food. He gets along well with the other dogs in the program. 

Maddie is a one year old Hound mix who weighs approximately 41 pounds. She was surrendered to the shelter due to her barking. While Maddie does like to announce herself when she hits the yard, she calms nicely in the room and in her kennel. She has not shown signs of excessive barking since being in the program. She is still working on greeting people politely, but absolutely loves attention/affection.

August 2022

Employee of the Month

Non-Custody
SOSA Amanda Noble        

Amanda has been a valued member of the Personnel Office.  She goes above and beyond her duties to ensure the office runs smoothly. We were recently short staffed due to one of our staff members being out.  Amanda stepped up and was doing timekeeping and other duties for the institution while working overtime to ensure that payroll was completed by the deadlines, resulting in everyone being paid correctly and on time. This dedication should not go unnoticed. Amanda is always willing to help in other areas as needed to provide staff members with any information requested. These are only a few examples of why Amanda should be Employee of the Month.

Puppy Pic

In August 2019, Jason Horn spoke to the Puppies for Parole and VFA (Veterans of Farmington and Associates) groups at the Farmington Correctional Center about the Got Your Six Support Dog Program. This organization provides service dogs to veterans and first responders who struggle with PTSD, at no cost to the recipient. According to their website https://gotyoursixsupportdogs.org/ Got Your Six Support Dogs started due to the need of veterans and first-responders requesting PTSD service dogs when all other methods of treatment have failed. A service dog can provide healing companionship and life-altering benefits to an individual suffering from PTSD. Service dogs are trained to:

• Alert to Anxiety
• Recognize and Interrupt Harmful Behaviors
• Wake Its Owner From Night Terrors
• Provide a Sense of Security and Combat Hypervigilance
• Reteach Emotions, Such as Love and Affection

The selected service dogs are trained by certified trainers for approximately one year and then matched with an applicant. The pairings occur over a 10-day period. During this period, the recipient also attends a daily trauma resiliency/suicide prevention course led by a licensed therapist. This training process and the dog is provided to the recipient at no cost.

Both Puppies for Parole and VFA were impressed by the service this organization is providing to veteran’s, first responders, and the local communities. The programs recently donated a combined total of $750 to Got Your Six Support Dogs and plan to make additional donations in the future.

In the photo, Jason Horn accepts a donation from IAC Tyler Smith on behalf of Puppies for Parole and VFA.

AK94U participated in the Health Fair held at Mineral Area College on April 27. Dog handlers made more than 100 dog bandannas to be given away at the fair. The organization donated two gift baskets filled with dog supplies, which were given away. A member of RJO also painted a beautiful portrait of a dog, which was given away to a lucky participant. We were able to showcase Dirk, a current P4P dog, who is still available for adoption.He is a one year old Catahoula mix, who gets along great with everyone. He is a high-energy dog, so he would be best suited with an active family. While at the fair, Dirk was able to demonstrate some of the skills he has learned while in the program and we were able to educate those in attendance on the proper way to greet a dog, as well as general dog safety tips.

Team members shared their concerns about overtime and fatigue. They proposed process and safety improvements.They voiced enthusiasm and gratitude for the proposed pay plan.They also said the best part of the job is the sense of family they share with coworkers.
