Nick is a highly decorated corrections professional whose skill, competence and thorough understanding of the corrections processes and duties of Sheriff exceeds the high benchmarks necessary to keep our community safe and return offenders to our streets as productive and contributing members of our society.
As a candidate, Sheriff Cocchi pledged to implement a “pets for prisoners” program to help save dogs and heal inmates.
As Sheriff, he has made that vision a reality and since the program’s first day, the offenders have trained dozens of dogs, helping them find great homes across the region and the dogs have helped the offenders learn how to care for all of another creature’s needs, and how to love unconditionally.
