Public Service Award

Sheriff Cook introduced corrections officer Josh Todd for the public service award named for a fallen officer.   Josh started a program to train officers to deal with surprise attacks.  The training program required that officers be able to defend against an attacker for at least two minutes.  Josh also started a program in the schools to teach kids how to identify and protect themselves against potential kidnappers.  Officer Todd has special training to deal with mentally ill prisoners and specific training for managing female inmates as well.  Officer Todd is a huge asset to both the corrections system and sheriff's department.
