TDOC Holds Graduation for 21 at Sergeant’s Academy in Tullahoma

On Friday, February 15, 2019 the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) honored the next generation of Sergeants during a graduation ceremony at the Tennessee Correction Academy in Tullahoma. The ceremony celebrated the hard work of 21 officers currently serving the citizens of Tennessee by working in TDOC facilities and offices across the state.
The keynote speaker for the event was John Fisher, Correctional Administrator. Fisher spoke to the class about challenging the status quo and the importance of doing your part within TDOC. “Remember to do your part and lift where you stand. You’ll make the department a better department.” shared Fisher.
During their weeks of training the class learned skills that will assist them in being effective leaders in their respective offices and facilities.
The graduating class also participated in a community service project during their time at the academy. The class decided to collect stuffed animals for law enforcement officials to give to children involved in the critical calls officers respond to. At the graduation two class representatives gave those donations to the Tullahoma Police Department.
