I also want to thank Deputy Kristen Knauss for serving as our first “Sheriff For A Day.”

During the day’s activities, Deputy Knauss attended several meetings on various topics, participated in a Swearing-In Ceremony, participated in a Crime Prevention presentation and worked closely with our Investigative Team during a Missing Child investigation.

I had a great time working alongside Kristen and getting her input and position on several matters throughout the day. Again, I want to thank her for spending the day with me and participating in our new program.
