Middlesex Sheriff’s Office reaccredited by American Correctional Association

  BILLERICA – The Middlesex Sheriff’s Office (MSO) has earned reaccreditation from the American Correctional Association (ACA) for the Middlesex Jail & House of Correction with perfect compliance on all mandatory standards, Sheriff Peter Koutoujian announced.

  “Each day, the men and women of the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office work tirelessly to ensure the safety of those in our care while preparing individuals to make a successful return home,” said Koutoujian. “Through all of their efforts they play an invaluable role in protecting and serving not only Middlesex County’s 1.6 million residents, but the entire Commonwealth. This re-accreditation is further affirmation of their incredible professionalism and dedication.”

  The MSO was formally awarded reaccreditation following a successful audit in July 2021 and a final presentation before the ACA’s Commission on Accreditation for Corrections in Phoenix in early January.

  The ACA first accredited the Middlesex Jail & House of Correction in 2015 and reaccredited it in 2018. In each of the three accreditation cycles, the MSO had perfect scores on all mandatory standards.
