A detention officer recruit died May 22 after becoming ill during his initial detention officer training at the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office. George Ward, 29, began showing signs of illness during a routine morning physical fitness training session, according to a Sheriff's department press release. He was transported back to the jail where he was treated by the Sheriff’s Office Medical Staff and immediately transported by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Medical Center. There is no word yet on a possible cause of death. Ward was one of 12 recruits striving to complete the Basic Jail Operations Academy, a state sanctioned course taught by Sheriff’s Office staff. Once the recruits complete the 3 to 5 week course, they are certified through the Police Officer Standards and Training Council as detention officers. Prior to being eligible for employment, recruits must pass a Physical Efficiency Battery Test and a medical clearance for county law enforcement officers. Yesterday was Ward’s second day on the job. “This is the first time that such an incident has occurred during my 12 years as Sheriff,” Thomas Brown stated. “Though we had only known him for a few days, the hearts of the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office are heavy.” Please check back for updates

Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013 Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013 Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013The Miami Heat enters the Eastern Conference Finals as heavy favorites against the Indiana Pacers. They have lost only three times in their last forty eight games and have faced little resistance from their opponents thus far in the 2013 post season. However, the Pacers should give the Heat a fight in this series. They defeated the Heat twice in the regular season and have the interior size in center Roy Hibbert and forward David West to expose the Heat’s weakness in the paint.
