Law enforcement officers, survivors and supporters are gathering in Sacramento this morning for the California Peace Officers' Memorial Ceremony, paying tribute to the 12 officers who lost their lives in the line of duty last year and the more than 1,670 who have made the ultimate sacrifice since California became a state. Among the 2026 honored officers is one of our own, CDCR Parole Agent Joshua Byrd, who was fatally shot in the DAPO office in Oakland on July 17, 2025.
We mourn the loss of these heroes, salute their courage and send our deepest condolences to the families and colleagues they left behind.

Today is Take a Child to Work Day, designed to help kids prepare for success in the workplace and in life. Not every job is conducive to bringing a child to work, but there are many ways to teach them about potential careers, demonstrate the value of education, help them envision their future and guide them along the path toward their goals. As the field of corrections continues to face recruitment challenges, CCSO encourages our members to keep inspiring the next generation through leadership, community outreach and positive role modeling as we work to shape the future of our profession.
