Our Mission
The Cook County Corrections Coalition (C4) is dedicated to empowering correctional officers by serving as a powerful intermediary between the administration and the union at Cook County Jail. Our mission is to return power to those who serve with honor behind the walls, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are protected.
​
​
We envision a workplace where the sacrifices and needs of correctional officers are fully recognized and appreciated. C4 strives to ensure that officers at Cook County Jail are not only a part of policy-making processes, but are at the forefront of negotiations concerning their welfare, safety, and working conditions
