In late July, at a ceremony held at the Norfolk County House of Correction in Dedham, the Norfolk County Sheriff's Sheriff’s Office became the first sheriff's office in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to be awarded the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Agency Award. The award recognizes the office’s commitment to leadership training for its command staff.
To date, 85 agencies across the United States have received the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Agency Award, including five police departments in Massachusetts. The Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office is the first Sheriff’s Office in Massachusetts to be awarded.
Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott accepted the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Agency Award on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office. The award was presented by Stoughton Police Chief and FBI-LEEDA President-Elect Donna McNamara.
“The FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Agency Award is a reflection of our agency’s commitment to true and transformative leadership,” said Sheriff McDermott. “When I first took office, I made it clear that I wanted to support my staff’s pursuit of self-improvement and training, in whatever form that might take. It’s been a true pleasure to see the NCSO team rise to the occasion through a variety of professional development opportunities, including the FBI-LEEDA leadership institutes.”
The award is given by FBI-LEEDA, the national law enforcement training non-profit, to law enforcement organizations whose entire command staff has undergone the rigorous series of leadership trainings and earned the individual FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Awards.
