Madriver St. The Logan County Sheriff’s Office is running the the 143-hour Ohio Full Service Corrections Basic Training Academy this month that includes 40 hours of the hands-on techniques in the JDC gymnasium. Seven LCSO staff members instruct the academy that is required for first-year corrections officers in Ohio, who then must sit for a state exam during June. The local academy is organized for the third year by Class Commander Joe Torsell. (EXAMINER PHOTO | MANDY LOEHR)
