The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office welcomed six new recruits to the agency following graduation ceremonies for the 127th session of the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy just before Christmas.

The new recruits are John W. Gregory, Pamela Hart, Jacob N. Luttrell, Charles Manning, Marcie Vadnais and Eric J. Venne.

“We are excited about our new group of recruits and their accomplishments during the 127th session,” said Sheriff Mike Chapman in a press release. “We will continue to expand our recruitment efforts to ensure professionalism and high standards from all of the men and women of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.”

The 24-week program for deputy sheriffs and police officers from the Northern Virginia area covered every phase of law enforcement principles and procedures.
