Deputy Brudzinski has been named our Deputy of the Month, and it’s well deserved.

Whether it’s responding to calls, supporting his fellow deputies, or taking the extra time to make sure a situation is handled the right way, Deputy Brudzinski represents what this job is all about.

His professionalism, reliability, and dedication don’t go unnoticed. He leads by example and continues to make a positive impact across our community and within our department.

Please join us in congratulating Deputy Brudzinski on this recognition and thanking him for the work he puts in every single day.

Deputy Strong and Sedano were at Woodhaven Upper Elementary this weekend for a career fair, talking with students and answering questions about the job. Good conversations and real connections with the next group coming up.
