This Unit coordinates and maintains records of all training conducted by and attended by members of the Laurens County Sheriff's Office. The Training Unit coordinates with other Deputies throughout the Sheriff’s Office who serve as auxiliary instructors and role players in addition to their primary daily assignments.
The Training Unit and auxiliary instructor staff provide many thousands of hours of training to Sheriff’s Office employees annually.
