During a July ceremony at the Polunsky Unit, former Texas Board of Criminal Justice Chairman Allan B. Polunsky presented CO IV Belky Challenger with the 2014 Employee of the Year Award.
Officer Challenger has worked as a TDCJ correctional officer for five years and currently serves as a contraband interdiction officer, a position which requires regular interaction with employees and visitors as they are searched before entering the unit.
