Haverhill, Massachusetts, Dec. 8, 2017… Sheriff Kevin F. Coppinger administered the oath to 26 new Correctional Officers of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department (ECSD) at the Basic Training Academy graduation ceremony held at Northern Essex Community College (NECC) on December 8.  The rigorous, 12-week Basic Training Academy on the campus of NECC is the final phase of the process to become a Correctional Officer.  The successful graduates, who come from communities throughout Essex County, will now be assigned full-time positions at ECSD run facilities.

“Comprehensive training is the key to excellence and effectiveness in corrections at every level.  We have designed a very demanding training program for recruits to become proficient in many critical areas.  Today’s graduates have made it through a long approval process and successfully completed the requirements to begin a career as a Corrections Officer but it will not end here. Their training will continue throughout their work at the Sheriff’s Department as we are committed to building and maintaining a strong, professional team. We look forward to having our new Correctional Officers become an important part of that team,” said Sheriff Coppinger.

NECC President Lane Glenn attended the ceremony and spoke about the mutually beneficial partnership between the ECSD and NECC to provide a location for ECSD’s Basic Training Academy.  A large percentage of law enforcement professionals receive their career related education from community colleges. NECC also offers courses for preparation and/or advancement in corrections careers.   

Many proud family and friends of the male and female graduates attended the ceremony.  A memorable moment for each new Corrections Officer was when their hard-earned badge was pinned on their new uniform for the first time by a special person in their life. 

The new Correctional Officers are: Daniel Ashwell, Cara Buckley, Paul Cerino, Nicholas Cognato, Christopher Day, Ryan Doyle, Andrew Gentile, Justin Gilman, Melissa Jewett, Kelsey Jewett, Alexander King, Cameron Labrecque, Jessica Lebrun, Christian Mangini, Diego Martin, Marc Menard, Meredith Nicosia, Michael Powers, Thomas Pitman, Francisco Reyes, Gabriel Rodriguez, Bryan Shedd, Caitlyn Tobyne, Anton Trubitsyn, Zachary Vatcher, Kostyantyn Zozulya.
