Landscape Foreman Ramon Lara has been selected as Employee of the
Month for May 1999 at the Reeves County Detention Center.
Lara began his career at the RCDC as a Correctional Officer on Feb.
1, 1988.
He was subsequently promoted to a position within the Recreation Department
where he continued to perform in an exceptional manner.
Lara was again promoted to his current position as Landscape Foreman
on Feb. 12, 1998.

as a dedicated employee and it has resulted in this recognition as our
current Employee of the Month," said RCDC Warden Rudy Franco.
Recently, during the performance of his duties Lara recognized a significant
underground water leak and hole in the ground that created a potential
for escape. He was instrumental in making repairs and corrections to secure
this potential hazard and prevent the possibility of future escapes, according
to Franco.
Lara is the husband of Monce Lara and the father of four chidren.
He is an experienced veteran officer and has routinely received favorable
comments from his supervisors during his career.
"It is with a great deal of pride that we have selected Lara as the

County Detention Center wish to thank Ramon for a job well done and continued
success in his career," he said.
