Sheriffs Office Recognizes 2018 Deputies of the Year for Field Operations and Corrections The Cherokee Sheriffs Office recently held its very first Deputy of the Year competition. A competition was open for a Field Operations Deputy of the Year and an Adult Detention Center/Court Staff Deputy of the Year, since daily tasks for the two sectors differ. Fourteen deputies from different areas within the agency were selected by their supervisors to compete in the competition.The Deputy of the Year competition was based on who best performs his/her daily duty assignments. Nine officers from each division in Field Operations were tested on building clearing, vehicle searches, room searches, investigative interviews, use of force, physical agility, report writing, field sobriety, and pistol qualification, and each completed an interview board. Five deputies from the Adult Detention/Court Staff were tested on book-in procedures, bonding procedures, the P.R.E.A. (Prison Rape Elimination Act), use of force, emergency procedures, report writing, physical agility, and inmate death procedures, and each completed a formal interview board. Congratulations to Deputy John Bennett for winning the Field Operations division and Deputy Steven McClure for winning the Adult Detention Center/Court Staff division.
