Training

All Middlesex County Deputy Sheriff recruits go through a rigorous 21-week training academy to prepare themselves as corrections officers of the county. At the academy, the cadets are taught subjects such as criminal law, foreign language skills, communication skills, disorder management, etc. Also, every recruit is brought to the Massachusetts Fire Academy in Stow, MA for a day to learn the techniques and some tips on firefighting to use if a fire was ever set in one of the jails.
