Court Officers Sworn In at Adams Courthouse

Twenty-eight court officers were sworn in yesterday at the Adams Courthouse by Chief Justice for Administration & Management Robert A. Mulligan. The newly promoted officers had served as Associate Court Officers for periods ranging from two to thirteen years and soon will receive courthouse assignments.

"Never underestimate the importance of your role in assuring the delivery of fair and equal justice," said Chief Justice Mulligan. "As you ensure safety and security, you should consider yourselves ambassadors of the Trial Court and treat everyone with courtesy and respect.";

The court officers on Friday completed a week of training, which included courtroom and restraint procedures, defensive tactics, and a review of the Trial Court’s diversity and sexual harassment policies.

Acting Director of Security Thomas J. Connolly advised the officers to "be proud to represent a select group chosen for your attitude, work performance and attendance." He said, "The bar now has been raised and I know that you will apply your training and varied experiences to meet our great expectations."

Supreme Court Justice Robert Cordy and Superior Court Chief Justice Barbara J. Rouse also attended the ceremony. Justice Cordy presented a badge to Supreme Judicial Court Officer Jay Brinkerhoff who also completed the Trial Court's Officer training program
