On January 1, 1994, Robert J. McCabe became Sheriff of the City of Norfolk.
In February of the same year,
Sheriff McCabe made several innovative changes in training. He assembled a training staff and notified
them that Sheriff's deputies would no longer attend the Hampton Roads Regional Academy of Criminal Justice
effective July 1, 1994. This meant that the Norfolk Sheriff's Academy would have to be fully operational by that date.
