On June 18, 2026, 11 recruits graduated from the Hanover County Criminal Justice Academy. The ceremony was held at the Hanover County Administration Building.
Sheriff Greg Six delivered an address, as well as presented the recruits with their certificates and awards. All of the graduates will enter into the final phase of their training as patrol deputies where they will spend at least 15 weeks with a field training officer. In addition to the 10 Hanover graduates, one recruit was from the New Kent County Sheriff’s Office.
Over the past 25 weeks, each graduate successfully completed over 820 hours of instruction. In addition, the recruits were tested on over 1300 training objectives established by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services.
