SUFFOLK'S BOLDEST RUN IN MEMORY OF SHOREHAM-WADING RIVER FOOTBALL PLAYER

On Sunday, Suffolk County Correction Officers from the Sheriff's Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T.) hit the trail with over 600 fellow runners in the 4th Annual Patriot Run benefiting the Thomas Cutinella Memorial Foundation. Thomas was a Shoreham-Wading River student who was fatally injured in a football game in October 2014. The S.E.R.T. Officers also held a raffle that raised $700 for the foundation.

In their everyday duties, the specially trained Correction Officers that make-up S.E.R.T. provide a tactical response to critical incidents in the Suffolk County Correctional Facilities such as hostage situations, riot control, and high-risk apprehension.

Please join Sheriff Toulon in recognizing our S.E.R.T. Correction Officers for their inspiring commitment to the communities they serve!
