Sheriff Keith Sexton is pleased to announce the promotions of Eric Bradford, Wes Mckinney and Vince Walters to Sergeant.
“An assessment board which included a captain from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, screened nine candidates, all of which performed very well. These three displayed the required skills knowledge and abilities we are looking for within our leadership team,” said Sexton “Putting the right people in the right positions is essential for growing a team.”
Bradford will move from Patrol to Warrants, Mckinney will move from Criminal Investigations Division (CID) to Patrol and Walters will remain in CID advancing to Sergeant.
