I’m very proud of the job our office has continued to do and the fact we’ve been able to continue to deter crime in our area.

We’ve been short handed in the jail a few months and we are short handed on the street for the last month, but our employees have been able to pick up the slack at this time where it’s been needed.

We look forward to continuing to serve you.
