Recently, the Worcester County Sheriff's Office hosted Assumption University students interested in sociology, criminology, and criminal justice for a tour of the Jail and House of Correction. The group visited multiple parts of our facility, heard from staff, and learned about day-to-day operations.🚨🚨🚨

It is always a pleasure to educate groups on what the Sheriff's Department does and the different career paths in the field of law enforcement.

Week 7 has come and gone for the recruits of the Worcester County Sheriff's Office B.R.T.A. #62! 🚨🚔🌟

In the classroom, the recruits learned about various topics such as critical incidents and emergency procedures, grievance procedures, crime scene preservation, and fire safety. The recruits closed out the week by starting to learn about firearm safety.

The recruits also got the opportunity to assist with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and Worcester County Reserve Deputy Sheriff's Association Annual Winter Coat Drive.

With seven weeks down, the recruits are coming together. They're excited to have only six weeks left to go!

Yesterday, the Worcester County Sheriff's Office Substance Treatment Opportunity Program welcomed Laura Chagnon, a published poet from western Massachusetts, to the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction. Laura, and her soulmate Tom, addressed the inmate population in our S.T.O.P./Short S.T.O.P. programs. She shared her story and discussed how she has rebuilt her life after many unfortunate events.🖋️📚

Laura's Bio:
"On the evening of her 26th birthday in 1989, Laura Chagnon was attacked and left for dead on the doorstep of the New England Medical Center. Her life changed that night…for the better.

After spending nearly five weeks in a coma and waking a legally blind quadriplegic, Laura then spent four years in a rehabilitation facility when doctors wanted to instead have her institutionalized. She forgives her still-unknown attackers for leaving her with the gift of poetry. “I’d gladly trade my legs in exchange for the ability to write poetry,” says Laura.

During a journey that has lasted twenty-eight years, Laura has composed over 6,000 poems. She composes from sun up to sun down. Her soulmate Tom calls her a poetry machine. After launching her very successful book, Never Touched a Pen, Laura is ready to step into the publishing arena yet again with her second book entitled, "Accepting the Waltz"."
