CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER

Today we celebrated seven staff promotions and the graduation of the Recruit Training Academy Class of 2026-01 at the Bourne Veteran's Memorial Community Center.

Congratulations to the promoted staff: Captain Mark Lynch, Lt. Luke Carroll, Lt. Christopher Cochran, Lt. Brittney Martinsen, Lt. Pasquale Spano, Lt. Kaitlyn Travis and Lt. David Wiseman.

The 24 new recruits spent three months learning how to be corrections officers. They have demonstrated the discipline and resilience to do this work.

"These recruits are part of our shift to a culture of accountability grounded in respect for human dignity - one that balances security and safety with the goal of guiding and encouraging our custodies to change behavior so they can successfully reintegrate and keep our community safe," Sheriff Buckley said.

Class President Preston Harris told his fellow graduates, "The badge does not make us better than the people in our care and custody. It gives us a greater responsibility to serve them with professionalism, compassion, fairness, and integrity."

On Friday, we joined the DEA New England Division, and Cape Cod law enforcement agencies to kick off the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's Red Ribbon Week at the Barnstable High School football game.

Dawn Roche, a local mother who lost her son Trevor to fentanyl, organized the Cape Cod event. Thank you, Dawn.

Red Ribbon Week raises awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and drug dealing. It honors the life and sacrifice of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was murdered by drug traffickers in 1985.
