I had the distinct honor of meeting with our Maricopa County Sheriff today- Sheriff Jerry Sheridan.

I had heard stories of him that he loved his guys, took care of them and had a passion for the job as a “cops cop.” I could not have been more impressed and grateful for our meeting. In all my decades of working with law enforcement, I’ve always done it as an unsworn civilian. While we were meeting I told him a story that when I was a kid watching westerns with my dad, I always wanted to be a Sheriff’s Deputy.

Then being the kind gentleman he is, he asked if I had more time to spend with him. While we chatted more he called his staff in to take a picture of me, then in 15 minutes, he honored me with fulfilling my childhood dream of swearing me in as a special deputy! I raised my right hand and took the very meaningful oath to serve our community and nation! All I can feel is wowed and humbled! Thank you sir for your dedicated service and for entrusting me with this privilege. As a First Responder Psychologist I couldn’t imagine a higher honor from someone of such pedigree!
