“We have taken affirmative steps to address the severity of misconduct in this case. This agency and this
administration will hold ourselves and our employees to the highest standards of professionalism. Any
employee who tarnishes their badge or betrays the trust of the office will be dealt with swiftly and justly,” stated
Sheriff Billy Hancock
