Community Service Program

One of the most popular services offered by the Norfolk County Sheriff's Office is the Community Service Program, which has logged approximately 700,000 hours and saved Norfolk County communities an estimated $12 million since its inception in 1985. More than 5,000 jobs have been completed to date.

Inmate work crews provide a variety of services to non-profit organizations, such as churches, schools and municipal agencies. Work includes painting, carpentry, landscaping and clean-ups.

Inmates who participate in the program must pass a screening process by program directors. Only non-violent, pre-release inmates are considered for the program. Inmates with violent pasts or charges of sexual misconduct are prohibited from participating.

Presently, the Sheriff's Office has several community service crews working in Norfolk County towns. Community Service allows towns to get work done that otherwise could not be completed.

In 1999, Sheriff Bellotti's community service crews built the Cohasset Teen Center and restored the historic Adam Capen House in Stoughton. In 2000, crews renovated the Holbrook Council on Aging building.
