The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) welcomed 14 new deputies following the graduation of the Criminal Justice Academy Session 90, Feb. 19.

In all, 55 new law enforcement officers were sworn in during a ceremony at the Centreville Baptist Church. This graduation follows six months of training at the Criminal Justice Academy where recruits from FCSO trained alongside recruits from Fairfax County Police Department and the police departments for the towns of Herndon and Vienna.

FCSO’s Session 90’s deputy graduates arrived at the Academy for Deputy School on July 14, 2025, and the rest of their class joined them Aug. 8. Together the recruits learned the fundamentals of being a law enforcement officer in Virgina, and in Fairfax County specifically. 

The new deputies will begin their careers with FCSO at the Adult Detention Center where they will be assigned a Field Training Officer who will provide on-the-job training for the next three to four months. This initial assignment provides them with valuable hands-on experience, helps strengthen their communication skills, and offers a comprehensive understanding of the agency and people it serves.
