ACO Program

Supporting our fellow officers from across the nation.

 

Movies and Music for the Military

Launched in 2007, Movies and Music for the Military is our way of showing support for the brave men and women who serve in our nation’s armed services. Each fall, we encourage donations of new and used CDs and DVDs, which we collect and ship to our troops for the holidays. By supporting ACOIN, you are also supporting our nation’s soldiers, many of whom return to work with us in correctional institutions.

   

CO Recognition

ACOIN proudly sponsors the only National Medal of Honor program for correctional officers in the nation. Your contributions,along with those of our organizational members and supporters, are used to fund this important recognition of the annual heroic acts performed by those who work side by side with you.

Contributing to the Community

When it comes to helping kids find the right path in life, no onebetter knows the need for early intervention—we live with the failed results! COBBBS is our ongoing partnership program with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. ACO and ACOIN members volunteer to mentor youths of all ages, in the hope that we can help them avoid having to live where we work.

 

Living Well

Each workday, we confront a variety of health issues behind the walls, from MRSA and TB to fibromyalgia and high blood pressure. We work in a very toxic environment—a key reason why, on average, our 59th birthday is our last. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t take steps to help improve our chances of living longer, healthier lives. Our Living Well series updates members regarding
potential health dangers and provides helpful information for those who need it most.
