Detention Academy at CCC graduates 10 new officers

Coconino County Sheriff Jim Driscoll had the cadets raise their right hands and repeat after him.

“I do solemnly swear that I will uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and the State of Arizona. I will perform faithfully and honorably the duties of the Detention Officer and will accept, without reservation, the responsibility and trust placed in me by the citizens of Coconino County and my fellow law enforcement professionals.”

Ten new detention officers will be working for the Sheriff’s Office after having graduated from Basic Detention Academy. They were honored with a ceremony on May 14 at the Pepsi Amphitheater at the Fort Tuthill County Fairgrounds.

The academy is made possible through a partnership with the sheriff’s office and Coconino Community College.
