Court Officer Academy Student Court Officer Manual: Inspections

Learn more about inspections at the Massachusetts Trial Court Officer Academy.

Student Court Officers are subject to inspections of their persons and both personal and issued equipment at all times while at the Academy. The purpose of this inspection is to ensure a state of readiness and instill the importance of attention to detail. Inspections may be announced or unannounced.

A Staff Instructor or designee will advise the Student Court Officer Training Class of a formal inspection. The Staff Instructor will determine the time of the uniform/equipment inspection. Student Court Officers will ensure their uniforms and issued equipment are prepared for inspection. Student Court Officers will be advised of any deficiencies of the uniform/equipment inspection and what correct, disciplinary, or remedial action will be taken.

Student Court Officers and their gear are subject to inspection at any time. A supervisory staff member may call a Student Court Officer aside whenever it is deemed appropriate to conduct an inspection. The inspection may include the Student Court Officer’s person, uniform, pocket notebook, assigned equipment, or an inquiry into a Student Court Officer's knowledge of pertinent information. The Student Court Officer will be advised of any deficiencies and what corrective, disciplinary, or remedial action will be taken.
