(Jefferson City) – State Rep. Robert Ross (R-Yukon) recently recognized the outstanding efforts of corrections officer Sherry Rosenbum of Summersville. A special ceremony was held at the Ike Skelton Training Center in Jefferson City, where Rosenbum received the Director’s Award of Valor, and an official House Resolution in honor of her service to the state. The ceremony took place during Missouri Correctional Employees’ Week on May 16. The Director’s Award of Valor is given to staff who perform outstanding heroic services, particularly in lifesaving or life-threatening situations. On November 14, 2016, Rosenbum called in a fire after discovering smoke coming from a cell. She was joined by other corrections officers who attempted to overcome the smoke, but were forced to turn back. Rosenbum then entered the cell alone and discovered a prisoner unresponsive on the floor. She then pulled the unconscious offender from the smoke-filled cell and took him to a secure area where medical staff rendered treatment until the offender regained consciousness, and afterwards made a full recovery.
