It's American Heart Month and today is Wear Red Day, when people are encouraged to dress in red clothing to raise awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death for American adults in most demographics. Corrections professionals are at an even higher risk for cardiovascular issues than the general public, so it's extra important to try to lead a heart-healthy lifestyle. At CCSO, we hope the services and support we provide help to reduce your work stress and enhance your well-being. Our members are at the heart of what we do! Please take good care of yourselves and stay heart-smart.

Happy Groundhog Day! This morning Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather. That may not sound too bad here in California, where many of us have experienced unseasonably warm, dry weather recently -- but we send our condolences to the snowy East and Midwest. Whatever awaits us between now and spring, enjoy and stay safe!

The CCSO office is closed today as our nation honors the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of courage, nonviolence, equality and justice. This observance is an opportunity for remembrance, education, reflection and celebration — and also, as the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service, an occasion for action, when Americans are encouraged to volunteer to improve their communities. We wish you a happy and meaningful MLK Day.

Happy National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (LEAD)! This event calls on citizens to recognize the honor and courage of our nation’s peace officers and show support for the heroes who selflessly serve and protect their communities.

This is a difficult profession, but please remember there are millions of people who believe in and appreciate the work that you do, and countless lives that are safer because of the sacrifices you make.
