Please join us in congratulating new Jail Standards Graduate Dezhia Dowdy. When new Detention Officers are hired with the department, they complete a Detention Officer Training Program, which lasts for 6 weeks. Following successful completion of that course, they receive on-the-job training before beginning the Jail Standards course, which is 56 hours long. Congratulations on successful completion of this next step in your career, Detention Officer Dowdy! We are proud to have you as a member of our team!
