Due to the WHO’s increased alert level concerning the recent Swine Flu
outbreak in the United States and MA, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department wants you to be
aware of the following advisory: we encourage everyone to visit the CDC's web site at
www.cdc.gov/swineflu for up to date
information on the Swine Flu. We would also like you to visit the MA Department of Public Health’s
website at www.mass.gov/dph. Practice the
proper hygiene techniques: Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough
or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Practice good "cough etiquette" by
coughing or sneezing into a tissue, or into your elbow instead of into your hands. Try to avoid
close contact with sick people. If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact
with others to avoid infecting them. You can click here for a PDF with good hand washing techniques. |

On December 13, 2008 Sheriff Cabral hosted a practical workshop designed to
provide attendees with a better understanding of the Criminal Offender Record Information (C.O.R.I).
Sheriff Cabral and Assistant General Counsel Tim Dooling guided participants through – some of the language,
disposition codes, and consequences of the CORI as it relates to employers and landlords, as well as those under
its purview. You can click here for a PDF version of the presentation that
was offered at the workshop. You can click
