Sandra Darby, a 2-year employee, will be promoted to manager of the Re-Entry Program, and Laura Eaton, a 4-year employee, will be promoted to manager of Inmate Programs.

Years of service recognition will be given to five-year employees Jaynora Black and Brittany Thompson; 10-year employees Alisha Williams, Demetria Parker, Erma Edwards-Cowthorn, Dexter White, and Penny Menard; 15-year employees Elizabeth Jackson, Joseph Gladney, William Johnson, Darin Marshall, Janet Sowell, Rodney Spikes, Jeff Thomas, Jackie Winston, Ricky York, David Reed, Dorothy Troudt, Darrell Smith, Ada Edwards-Chapman, and Yolanda Williams; 20-year employees Kenny Hester, Joey Raborn, and Don Gibbs; 25-year employees Kevin Dunn and Owen McDonnell; and 30-year employee, Mike Middleton.

Sheriff Prator will award the department's Lifesaving Award to Deputy Gabriel Evans, who performed CPR on a man who lost consciousness while in the checkout line of a local store. Evans was off duty shopping in the store when the incident occurred.

Deputy Evans determined the man was not breathing and had no pulse, and immediately began CPR with the assistance of a bystander. After performing chest compressions for several minutes the man regained consciousness and began coughing and gasping for air. Deputy Evans and the bystander then stayed with the man and engaged him in conversation to keep him alert until paramedics arrived to transport him to the hospital.
