The N.C. Department of Public Safety recently recognized Division of Prisons administrator Dennis Daniels as an Employee of the Year.
“Dennis is a true professional whose entire career shows his dedication to the agency,’’ said Director of Prisons Kenneth Lassiter. “His leadership, experience and steady hand was a blessing in difficult times. I am happy to honor him with this well-deserved award.”
The Employee of the Year awards were given near the conclusion of a two-day leadership workshop attended by more than 150 executive-level leaders in the prison system on Feb. 18-19.
Daniels, a 38-year veteran, is the administrator at Pasquotank Correctional Institution. He was named Facility Head of the Year for his instrumental leadership and guidance in maintaining operations and supporting the staff in healing after a 2017 failed escape attempt that resulted in the death of four employees.
