stopped by his bullet proof vest. Deputy Lariz backed
up Deputy Gordon and returned fire after he was hit.
Long time Reserve Lieutenant Bob Smith
was recognized for his thousands of hours
of volunteer service as he retires
from the ranks of Sheriff’s Office
reserve force.

duties of color guard at the
ceremony and did a beautiful
job. Left to right, Angel Muino,

You can feel the chill just looking at the photo on the

Thirteen dedicated students (pictured below) took
part, mostly in the wind and rain, learning to pilot the
vessels, how to do vessel stops and pursuit training. A
big thanks to the instructors, Mike Digiovanni, Martin
Digrius, Wilfredo Guerra, Christopher Mattson from
FWC, and Deputy Nelson Sanchez.

in Marathon for Christmas!
Deputy Mark Martin and
FWC Officer Olly Adams
were in Britain and went
mountain climbing in Wales
with a group of friends over
Christmas break. They were
on Mount Tryfan at over
3,000 feet when they were
hit by a storm with 90+
mph winds. Sounds like
quite an adventure!
Inspection season is here - everyone is getting
ready! Here is District One CIU all dressed
up for their inspection. They do it separately
because they cook for the rest of the district
when they get together for the larger
inspection event.
