The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) Honor Guard proudly presented the Correctional Peace Officers Foundation (CPOF) Lifetime Sponsorship Award to the NDCS Staff Training Academy. Accepting the plaque on behalf of the Academy was Training Manager Jared McGinn, marking a significant milestone in Nebraska’s ongoing partnership with CPOF.
This recognition is a testament to the extraordinary leadership of Jill Edelman, and the entire Honor Guard Team. Jill has been a dedicated member of CPOF since 2016. She has since become both the voice of CPOF in Nebraska and the driving force behind countless fundraising efforts, outreach initiatives, and new member enrollments. Since 2020, Edelman has served the NDCS Honor Guard Team while also serving as CPOF’s volunteer State Representative. The team has raised funds through golf scrambles, pancake feeds, cornhole tournaments, merchandise sales, and more. Their efforts culminated in a memorable moment at PROJECT 2000 XXXIV in St. Louis, where they presented a $15,000 donation that granted lifetime facility sponsorships for every correctional facility in Nebraska.
