DEDHAM, MA – Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott is proud to announce the graduation of nine new officers from the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office training academy, and the promotion of six other dedicated officers to the rank of sergeant.

The officers and sergeants were celebrated in a ceremony held Monday night at Grille 151 in Weymouth. They were joined by their proud families and friends.

“I know these newly-sworn officers will serve our agency and the people of Norfolk County with dignity and valor,” said Sheriff McDermott. “They have shown throughout their training that they are not just capable, but ready to excel in this new chapter of their lives.”

The theme of this year’s training academy was “Become One.”

“Each class brings with it a fresh perspective and an opportunity to reimagine what we do, and how we do it,” said Sheriff McDermott. “The Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best correctional facilities in the nation, and I am confident this reputation will be enhanced by having these officers in our ranks.”

Sheriff McDermott also offered high praise for his academy training staff, which is led by its Commander Captain Francis Reynolds.
