information to the public. Their proactive approach to delivering clear communications to the media, makes for a cooperative relationship and a cohesive message. On November 1, 2016 deputies were involved in a fight with an armed robbery suspect. During the incident, the suspect produced a pistol and attempted to kill a deputy sheriff.
