It’s not too often that we get to share stories with a happy ending, but it brightens all of our days when they do happen. This week was no exception!
One of our Animal Control Officers was heading home, when he came upon a vehicle crash. He was first on scene and jumped into action to provide lifesaving efforts to the individual in the crash. They were recognized a few days later by AMR for correctly providing medical care, giving emergency responders time to arrive and take over care of the patient. They praised him in giving the patient a chance for survival in the face of serious trauma.
Patrol Deputies have been visiting fundraiser car washes, which is always a great opportunity to chat with citizens.
One of our Booking Clerks in the jail, Jo, celebrated her 25th anniversary working with us!
Sheriff Daniel beat the heat this weekend by volunteering to participate in a dunk tank fundraiser. To make it even better, one of his own Deputy’s kids hit the bullseye, plunging him into the water. We don’t think he minded the quick cool off though.
It can be a difficult time for families and friends when someone they care about gets sentenced to prison. It can also be a confusing time as far as how to handle their belongings, personal business, etc. while they are away. Our reception staff was recognized by an individual who was going through just that. They were very complimentary towards all of the assistance offered and kindness that was displayed toward them as they were trying to navigate their loved one going to prison.
We successfully hired 5 new employees this past month! 1 Patrol Deputy, 2 Corrections Deputies, 1 Dispatcher and 1 Marine Safety Officer! We are still actively recruiting for Patrol, Corrections, and Dispatch.
We are lucky enough to witness the amazing things our dedicated team does every single day both out in the field and behind the jail walls and we hope you enjoyed us sharing them with you.
