SBSO DEPUTIES GRADUATE FROM P.O.S.T. CORRECTIONS ACADEMY
Ten St. Bernard Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies graduated Oct. 30 from a 92-hour Corrections Division course in Peace Officers Standards and Training, or P.O.S.T. Corrections academy, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
Graduates include Dep. Gracie Evick, Dep. Francisco Betancourth, Dep. Brianna Rosas, Dep. Brissa Taylor, Dep. Amanda Smith, Dep. Glen Alvarez, Dep. Brandon Ramirez, Dep. Austin Norton, Dep. Hunter Ricouard and Dep. Keyshawn Hill Jr.
Deputies Hunter Ricouard and Gracie Evick both scored a perfect 100% on the final exam.
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.
