This year’s Correction Recruit Class Community Service project was to collect and deliver toys and winter coats to Long Island Head Start in Brentwood, NY. The 52 Correction Officer Recruits donated enough presents for 52 children who are served by LI Head Start. These presents include educational and fun toys and warm winter coats for boys and girls aged 2-5.
As part of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office Recruit Class Curriculum, all new recruits develop and participate in a community service project. This Community Service Initiative was implemented in 2013 to emphasize to new officers the importance of giving back to the residents we serve.
Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. is proud of his newest Correction Officers. “Community Service is a huge part of what we do at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office. I am proud of the hard work of these 52 Recruits in making sure that Suffolk County’s youngest residents enjoy a warm and festive holiday season.”
Please join us in recognizing the Recruits’ efforts for making sure those in need will not be forgotten this holiday season!
