Worcester County Sheriff Lewis Evangelidis announced the graduation of the largest academy class in the history of the Sheriff’s Department. The graduation ceremony at Anna Maria College welcomed 30 new correction officers to the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. The group which included five military servicemen were the eleventh class to graduate under Sheriff Evangelidis’ increased hiring standards which he introduced shortly after taking office. “As we continue to build a strong department dedicated to serving our community, our new officers have met the highest hiring standards in corrections today and have completed the finest training academy in Massachusetts. With almost 90% of our inmate population incarcerated due to addiction issues, the field of corrections can be a very challenging one. Our primary responsibility is to serve and protect the citizens of Worcester County and to do that effectively we must work daily with these individuals so they are less likely to reoffend upon their release. I am proud to welcome the largest graduating class in the history of our department, comprised of thirty of new correctional officers who will now join us in that mission." said Evangelidis.
