In a sig­nif­i­cant de­vel­op­ment for the Prison Ser­vice, Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Pris­ons, De­op­er­sad Ra­moutar, be­stowed the rank of Pris­ons Of­fi­cer II up­on 34 de­serv­ing of­fi­cers.

This is the third batch of of­fi­cers to be pro­mot­ed un­der his tenure.

Dur­ing an in­ti­mate cer­e­mo­ny held in the Con­fer­ence Room at the Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing, Gold­en Grove on Fri­day, Com­mis­sion­er Ra­moutar, shared his jour­ney, em­pha­siz­ing the im­por­tance of vi­sion and trans­for­ma­tion in his ad­dress to the new­ly pro­mot­ed of­fi­cers.

Ra­moutar al­so used the oc­ca­sion to urge the fresh­ly mint­ed Pris­ons Of­fi­cers II to be­come shin­ing ex­am­ples and pos­i­tive role mod­els for their col­leagues.

He stressed the need for them to up­hold the high­est stan­dards, not on­ly in their pro­fes­sion­al roles but al­so in their per­son­al lives.

Rec­og­niz­ing their pro­mo­tion as a tes­ta­ment to their years of ded­i­cat­ed ser­vice, lead­er­ship, and com­mit­ment, Com­mis­sion­er Ra­moutar re­mind­ed the of­fi­cers that while not every­one can lead the or­ga­ni­za­tion, every­one can ex­hib­it lead­er­ship qual­i­ties and serve as pos­i­tive in­flu­ences for the mul­ti­tude of young of­fi­cers and in­mates en­trust­ed to their care.
