Silsbee is one of 16 people selected for the council and the only corrections representative chosen from approximately 2,500 certified ethics instructors from the United States, Canada and England. He will serve a three-year term on the newly formed council.
Ethics serves as the true foundation in the development of future managers and leaders.
I am confident that someone of his character, skill and ability will make the Department proud when serving on the council. As a council member, Silsbee will be asked to help the Southwestern Law Enforcement Institute evaluate its program and services. The institute offers law enforcement management training and executive development programs. Silsbee started his career with the Department 24 years ago as a correctional officer at Central Prison. He s been a social worker at Central Prison, worked in inmate classification and diagnostic services in the Division of Prisons administration and was also a training instructor.
