Trainor has been promoted to the position of Assistant Superintendent of Operations. Trainor most recently was assigned to the Modular Complex, which houses over 600 pre-trial and sentenced inmates.

As Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Trainor is responsible for the daily security operations of the entire facility, which houses over 1100 male inmates.

26 Year Career

In 1987, Trainor started his career with the Worcester County Sheriff's Department and was promoted to Sergeant in 1990, Lieutenant in June 1999 and Captain in July 2003. In May of 2011, Sheriff Evangelidis promoted him to Assistant Deputy Superintendent of the Special Management Unit, where he oversaw operations for the most sensitive inmate population that included those suffering from mental health issues and that posed significant disciplinary issues.

"Throughout his impressive career at WCSO, Assistant Superintendent Trainor has demonstrated the leadership, sound judgment and professionalism that is a model for all of our staff," said Sheriff Evangelidis. "His ability to not only solve problems, but more importantly in the world of corrections, anticipate and prevent security issues, will undoubtedly help keep all of the staff and inmates at WCSO safe."
