Aerosmith front-man Steven Tyler became an honorary deputy for the Worcester County Sheriff’s office last month and will help the organization’s charity programs.
Deputy Superintendent Jeffrey R. Turco confirmed Mr. Tyler met up with Worcester County Sheriff Guy W. Glodis and members of his staff.
The group took a tour of the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction facility and talked about several programs available for inmates, Deputy Turco said.
“He offered to assist us in the Deputy Sheriff’s Association,” he said.
Attempts to obtain a comment yesterday from Mr. Tyler were unsuccessful.
The Reserve Deputy Sheriff’s Association is a tax-exempt charitable organization that helps the sheriff’s community outreach and charity programs.
The sheriff spoke with Mr. Tyler about the substance abuse programs for inmates along with the Almost Home, Fathers and Families and Substance Treatment Opportunity programs, Deputy Turco said.
Mr. Tyler, a rock icon with his band that was formed in Boston, received a non-employee badge and does not have any official sheriff duties. Deputy Turco said intough economic times — especially with anticipated state budget cuts — it helps to have a celebrity endorse the charitable portion of the sheriff’s operation.
Deputy Turco said Mr. Tyler and Sheriff Glodis were put in touch with each other through a mutual friend.
This is not the first time the sheriff’s office brought in a celebrity as an honorary deputy.
Former tennis star Ivan Lendl and longtime Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda have been deputized in the past.
