Corrections Academy

As a Deputy Sheriff Trainee (Adult Detention), you will attend the 6-week Adult Correction Officer Academy. We have 4 academies a year which start in February, May, August, and October. Once you complete your application process, you will be assigned to the next available academy. 

 Over the course of 6 weeks, you will learn a wide range topic necessary for you to be successful in your career.  The academy will test you both physically and mentally. In order to be successful, we recommend you start preparing in advance.

To prepare physically for the Academy we recommend the following:

1. Start working out regularly (3-5 times a week).
2. Start Running and be able to reach 3-5 miles without stopping.
3. The academy does a lot of High intensity workout (HIT Workouts) that consist of cross fit and body weight exercises. Try to reassure these types of work outs and get comfortable completing them.
4. Start eating healthy.
5. Stay hydrated.
6. Work on your pushups, sit ups and Burpees.
7. Make sure your whole body is in good health prior to the academy. Injuries need to be taken good care of so that they are healed by the start of the academy.
8. Weightlifting will not be enough. You need to implement multiple types of workouts into your regiment to be successful.
9. Cardio, Cardio, Cardio!!

Throughout 6 weeks of the Academy, you will be overseen by the Adult Detention's Training Staff. You will meet and learn from serval different experienced instructors and be put in realistic scenarios to help better preform when the real situation is in front of you.
