On Wednesday, March 28, 2018, Sheriff Bill Leeper recognized members of the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, who through their dedication and commitment to our community, have placed themselves in harm’s way to keep innocent citizens from being harmed. Who through their experience, have saved a life of a citizen, or through their exceptional and outstanding service, ensure the quality of life all of us have come to expect living in Nassau County. Several individuals were recognized as employees of the year and some were presented life-saving awards.
“Our community is in good hands with all those who serve our citizens day in and day out” said Sheriff Leeper. “Whether they are sworn or non-sworn our employees are the very best and it is an honor for me to be able to work with them each and every day.”

We need to make sure we have the necessary tools, equipment, personnel and resources available in order to do the job and keep all of us safe and secure. Our employees are our most valuable asset and we must do all we can to make sure they are appreciated and rewarded for their hard work, stated Leeper.
