SBSO DEPUTIES GRADUATE FROM P.O.S.T. CORRECTIONS ACADEMY
Eight St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies graduated Thursday, July 2 from a 92-hour Corrections Division course in Peace Officers Standards and Training, or P.O.S.T. Corrections Academy, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
First row, from left are: graduates Dep. Sierra Berniard, Dep. Patrick Turner, Dep. Joshua Pontecorvo and Dep. Gilberto Castro. Second row, from left: Maj. Dennis Morgan, instructor; graduates Dep. Michael Dier, Dep. Devin Fletcher, Dep. Logan Tardo and Dep. Joshua Umbehagen, and Sgt. Louis Mowers, instructor.
The corrections course, which helps better prepare deputies to work in a prison environment or Juvenile Detention Center, covers topics such as defensive tactics, booking procedures, report writing and the use of force lesson plans.
Deputies also are trained in the use of pepper spray, which includes each officer being pepper-sprayed in order to learn firsthand about its effects.
The course, held at the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Training Center in Chalmette, was led by instructors Maj. Dennis Morgan, who oversees the Juvenile Detention Center; Lt. Kyle Brown, Lt. Jodie Couture, Sgt. Rosalyn Cantrell, Sgt. Louis Mowers and Sgt. Darlene Ricks, all of the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division.
