“This may be a 100-year old agency, but it is an active, modern and proud agency. Our strength comes from the diversity of our employees and the community we serve. Our mission over the past 100 years has been to protect this community and keep our residents and visitors safe. Today, we have laid the foundation for our next 100 years of service,” says Sheriff Staly. “May God continue to watch over and protect our deputies as we continue to serve you in the days, years and decades to come.”
