Sheriff Mike Evans is extremely proud of Detention Center Administrator Major Thomas D. Reece and Assistant Administrator Captain Kevin Cross along with the entire staff at the Detention Center for receiving the highest mark possible during a recent audit by the State.
The Calvert County Detention Center completed the Maryland Commission on Correctional Standards on September 13, 14, 15, 2011. The Maryland Commission on Correctional Standards was established by the General Assembly to advise the Secretary regarding standards for local correctional facilities. The Commission staff audits correctional facilities to determine levels of compliance develop audit reports and provide technical assistance to correct areas of noncompliance. Trained volunteers are used to accomplish the inspection process. Final audit reports of correctional facilities are reviewed by Commission Members, who are appointed by the Governor for a term of three years.
There are eight categories that are reviewed; Security and Inmate Control, Inmate Safety, Inmate Food Services, Inmate Housing and Sanitation, Inmate Rights, Classification, Hearings and Administrative Record Keeping. Over 200 standards were reviewed and the Calvert County Detention Center was found to be in 100% compliance. The Detention Center was commended on its cleanliness, attention to detail and the professionalism of its uniformed and civilian staff. As a vital link to public safety Sheriff Mike Evans is proud of the everyday performance of the staff at the Calvert County Detention Center. The recent 100% compliance received is just another example of the professionalism portrayed by all and should be a comfort to the citizens of Calvert County.
