The graduation ceremony for the 55th Session of the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office Corrections Academy was held on Oct. 18.
Cadets started the academy on Aug. 14 and completed 10 weeks of training where they were instructed in criminal law, defensive tactics, de-escalation techniques, firearms, basic jail guidelines, first aid/CPR, high risk prisoner transport and blood born pathogens.
These cadets have worked extremely hard over these weeks and the Sheriff’s Office congratulates each and every one of them on their accomplishments.
