The 2017 legislative session kicked off in Olympia today, and with it comes serious challenges facing working families across our state.

Officer Patrick Collecchi of the Stafford Creek Corrections Center talks about why he plans to attend our DOC Lobby Day on February 13 and 14. Officer Collecchi is new to DOC and has been at SCCC since March.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and Happy New Year. Regardless of how you celebrate, this is a time to give thanks and be around loved ones.

This year, our DOC bargaining committee made history. For the first time, we were able to negotiate interest arbitration rights into our DOC contract.

The Office of Financial Management issued a statement today certifying our DOC interest arbitration award as financially feasible.
