The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office held a swearing in ceremony for 37 new Correction Officer Recruits on Monday, May 16, 2022, at the Maxine S. Postal Auditorium in the Riverhead County Center. These new Correction Officer Recruits will begin a rigorous three-month training program that includes instruction in direct supervision, de-escalation techniques, report writing, defensive tactics, firearms, and much more. The recruits will graduate in the summer, joining a force currently consisting of 777 Suffolk County Correction Officers.

Sheriff Toulon welcomed these new Correction Officers to the Sheriff’s Office, reminding them that they “now hold a position of authority in Suffolk County, and with that authority comes great responsibility.”
