U.P. Correctional Supervisor Named Top In The Nation

The nation’s top correctional supervisor is from the Upper Peninsula.

The American Jail Association recently named Sergeant James Herrington of the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office the National Correctional Supervisor of the Year.

Sergeant Herrington has been with the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office since 2005.

For the last four years, Herrington has been a supervisor at the jail. His co–workers, the people he is in charge of, put him up for the award.

When Herrington found out he won the award, he thought his co–workers were pulling a prank on him.

Herrington was raised in Marquette and graduated from Northern Michigan University with a Criminal Justice degree.
