What is the facility's motto?

• A. Safety, Security, Service
• B. Respect, Responsibility, Results
• C. Pride, Performance, Professionalism
• D. Integrity, Discipline, Duty

Answer: (C)

The chosen motto centers on how staff approach their daily work and interactions. It emphasizes taking pride in the work you do, striving for high-level performance, and maintaining professionalism in every situation. In a detention center, this means showing up with a strong work ethic, delivering consistent, quality outcomes, and handling every encounter—whether with inmates, coworkers, or the public—with respect and composure. This combination creates a culture of accountability and excellence that guides decisions, responses, and teamwork, not just compliance with rules.

While the other options highlight important aspects—safety and service, ethics and results, or integrity with discipline and duty—they don’t blend these elements into a single, forward-looking standard about personal pride and professional behavior as effectively. Pride, Performance, Professionalism captures both the personal drive and the conduct expected in daily operations, making it the best fit for the facility’s tone and expectations.
