Washington Parish Sheriff Welcomes Four New Deputies

On Tuesday (June 24, 2025), four Washington Parish Deputy Sheriffs completed their POST-1 certification at C.A.R.T.A. (Capital Region Training Academy), hosted by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office. They will now transition to three months of one-on-one field training with an experienced supervisor to gain the necessary skills and insight required of Washington Parish Deputy Sheriffs. 

The POST-1 certification academy consists of four months of intense training that prepares Law Enforcement Professionals for success in their fields. Recruits are put through rigorous courses in Law Enforcement, emergency management, medical triage, crime scene investigation, firearms and non-lethal training, physical fitness and self-defense training, and the ethics and philosophies that will guide them in their duties.

Congratulations to Deputies Hunter Cook, Darius Martinez, Alex Martin, and James Seal on this milestone in their careers, and welcome aboard. From everyone here at the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office, thank you for the hard work and dedication you’ve shown up to this point. Now it’s time to get to work!
