Hinds County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that it congratulated its newest graduates of Detention Services after they completed weeks of training to become certified detention officers.
The department said training staff provided the instruction the officers underwent to earn certification. The post said the office looks forward to the service of the new detention officers.
Detention officers are responsible for the custody, supervision and safety of people housed in county detention facilities. Their work helps maintain orderly operations inside jails and supports wider public safety efforts by law enforcement agencies.
The Hinds County Sheriff’s Office is the primary law enforcement agency for Hinds County, Mississippi, and oversees local detention operations as part of its responsibilities. Details such as the number of graduates and specific training topics were not provided. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
