Today we had a great time bringing a little bit of Dr. Seuss magic to the K–2 students in Waterville! 🎩📚

The Cat in the Hat showed up with Thing 1 and Thing 2, along with their special guest, dispatcher Tim Jones, to read a classic story and share plenty of laughs along the way. Seeing the smiles, laughter, and excitement from the kids made it all worth it.

We had an absolute blast entertaining the students and celebrating the fun of reading with them. Thank you to the teachers and staff for welcoming our crew — we hope the kids enjoyed it as much as we did!

Encouraging young readers and sharing a few laughs is always a great way to spend the morning.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office continues to demonstrate its commitment to professional excellence and community care through advanced training and development opportunities for its staff.

Recently, Undersheriff Christopher Flood, Correctional Administrator Logan Woodyard, and Correctional Sergeant Shawn Lambert successfully completed the 3-day professional development course, *From Crisis to Care – Effective Management in Correctional Settings*. This specialized training focused on strengthening the ability of correctional staff to identify, understand, and effectively respond to detainees experiencing mental health crisis.

Throughout the course, the officers gained valuable, practical skills in communication, de-escalation strategies, and crisis intervention techniques. These tools are critical in reducing use-of-force incidents, minimizing staff injuries, and improving outcomes for individuals in crisis. By enhancing their understanding of mental health challenges within a correctional environment, they are better equipped to maintain safety while treating individuals with professionalism and dignity.

The knowledge and experience brought back from this training directly benefit the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office and the community it serves. Investing in crisis management education not only strengthens facility operations but also reflects a proactive approach to inmate care, staff safety, and public trust.

We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Sheriff Timothy Ackerman for supporting and allowing us the opportunity to pursue this important training. His leadership and commitment to continuous improvement ensure that our office remains prepared to meet the evolving needs of our community with skill, compassion, and professionalism.

This morning local law enforcement had the pleasure of joining the residents of the Light House for coffee and treats. We had a great time listening to some stories and look forward to doing again in the future.
