Liberty County Sheriff Bobby Rader congratulated and spoke to the fifth graduating class of Correctional Officers that Training Division Supervisor, Cpl. Ann Marie Mitchell has put through an informational crammed class over a required three week training academy class. These new Correctional Officers will assume their positions within the confines of the Liberty County Jail shortly with two of the graduates being veteran Correctional Officers with State Correctional facilities.
A few of the many subjects taught in the Academy class are CPR and First Aid, Mental Health Response, Ethics in Law Enforcement and Stress Management for Correctional Officers to name only a few. All Correctional Officers have the opportunity to advance from a Basic C.O. Certification up to a Master Jail Certification through further training and testing by way of the Texas Commission On Law Enforcement (TCOLE).
