State Senator Bill Beagle
Beagle Honors
Ohio Parole Officer of the Year
Praises Qualities of Compassion, Balance and Strength
COLUMBUS - On Tuesday, State Senator Bill Beagle (R-Tipp City) honored
Miami County Parole Officer Sharlynn Key for being named the 2015
Parole Officer of the Year by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Corrections.
"Sharlynn is someone who leads with her actions and work ethic," said
Beagle. "She is a role model for new parole officers in Miami County
and throughout Ohio by embodying the balance, compassion and strength
that is required of a truly exceptional parole officer."
A 1996 graduate of Wilberforce University, Officer Key began her career
as a parole officer in June of 2000 with the Dayton office where she
served until she was promoted to her current position in April of 2013.
As Senior Parole Officer for the Troy Unit 1, she also coordinates the
DRC's internship program for the Dayton West region.
Key demonstrates her compassion by referring many offenders to programs
such as "Thinking for a Change" and "Second Chance Wednesday" which
provide meaningful assistance for struggling offenders.
One colleague, in their letter of support for the nomination, referred
to Sharlynn Key as "the glue that holds her unit together."
On behalf of his colleagues, Senator Beagle presented Key with a
resolution on the floor of the Ohio Senate honoring her for being named
the 2015 Parole Officer of the Year.
