New Month New Goals!
đ New Month = New Missions.
At SADOC, weâre all about continuous improvement, not just for the people we serve but also for our awesome team. We know that learning and personal development are super important for success. That's why we offer various chances for our staff to level up their skills and knowledge, no matter what position they hold.
Weâve got a bunch of initiatives like engaging training sessions to boost specific skills, hands-on workshops for practical learning, and a friendly environment where team members can share insights and learn from each other. We believe that working together and exchanging knowledge really drives growth.
As the world changes around us, being adaptable is crucial to our success. Still, we stay true to our core values, making sure that all our growth efforts stick to our established rules and standards. While we know growth is essential, we believe it should happen within certain limits, and weâre committed to keeping that balance as we work on improving our services and team spirit.

Divisional Spotlight - CERT
spacer
Divisional Highlight: CERT
During a critical incident, SADOC CERT swiftly responded when multiple agencies were called into action. As a quick response force, our team was deployed following a distress call from LSPD, who were under gunfire after a 911 call came in. Sergeant Chris Whittle led the team in a highly coordinated and effective response, arriving on the scene in under two minutes.
Once arrived, CERT units engaged in a counter-assault alongside LSPD, helping neutralize the threat and securing the area. Their quick thinking and precise execution were pivotal in keeping everyone safe and minimizing further harm. The team provided first aid to those injured, including two individuals and an LSPD officer, and immediately set up a secure perimeter. The injured were safely transported to Pillbox MD for treatment.
In the aftermath, the CERT team successfully completed the transfer of the secured individuals, ensuring they were transported to SADOC without incident. This seamless operation demonstrated the exceptional skill, bravery, and teamwork of the CERT members, including Jeff Cooper, Matthew Armstrong, Eoghan Sterling, Steve Angerson, Danielle Young, Chris Whittle, Dan Endo and Mark Bloomfield, whose professionalism and leadership helped bring the situation to a safe resolution.
Each of them followed Chrisâs lead without hesitation, helped secure dangerous suspects, and assisted LSPD with their injured officers. That kind of bravery and teamwork deserves some recognition and ribbons all around because lives were saved, and justice was served.

PR Team Spotlight
PR Team Spotlight
Starting this month, we will be highlighting members of the Public Relations (PR) team to show off all of the hard work they do and to help the community to get to know us better. For this monthâs spotlight, we would like to introduce you to Officer Eoghan Sterling!
Throughout Eoghanâs time in PR, he has assisted with writing sections of our monthly press releases, conducted tours, shared ideas, and worked on planning events. He has also taken lead on some upcoming plans, including writing segments and events. His dedication in the division has helped to foster creativity and community within DOC.
We asked Eoghan a few questions about his experience in PR:
What made you decide to join PR?
What is your favorite project youâve worked on so far?I've always loved interacting with the public and joining PR is a way for me to do this and help show that DOC isn't just a prison!
What do you look forward to as you continue your time in PR?I think my favourite project is still something that's being planned that hasn't been announcement yet so I'm unsure as to how much I can say about it! But when it's announced it'll be a spectacular event!
Thank you, Eoghan, for your amazing and continued contributions!Honestly, the continued interaction with the public! I know that people view DOC as this big bad place but honestly, we're far from it! All the guards no matter what rank are all extremely friendly and we all get on like a massive, yet ever so slightly, dysfunctional family! I want people to see that side of DOC. I want to show that we care about those entrusted to our care the same way we care for each other!

Visitation
Has your wife, brother, husband, sister, mother, uncle, friend, or even your nemesis ever been brought to SADOC? Great newsâyou can visit them! Our visitation is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even on holidays (because crime doesnât take a day off).
There is, however, a small catch: at least two Correctional Officers need to be available to assist with visitation. If theyâre busy elsewhere, feel free to pop back laterâweâll be here!
Visitation Rules:
- No physical contact. Sorry, hugs are off the table.
- No whispering. Keep it loud and clear, folks.
- No passing of items. Anything you want to exchange will be checked for contraband first.
- Maximum visitation time is 1 hour ((15 minutes OOCLY)).
For those who love to bend the rules, be warned: we have a blacklist! Certain individualsâlike our MSIsâare restricted from visitation. Remember, visitation is a privilege, not a right, and it can be declined for a variety of reasons.
Oh, and donât forget to check out our Inmate of the Month! Who says prison life doesnât have awards?
