Letter of Commendation Presented

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office presented a Letter of Commendation. 

Deputy Jackson was presented with this high honor for a child neglect investigation. The incident occurred in February of this year. Deputy Jackson responded to the call, which involved a suspect with two minor children in a car. Jackson began looking for the vehicle, and eventually initiated a traffic stop and immediately recognized that the minor children were showing signs of neglect.

He immediately began his investigation and this resulted in the parent being arrested for two counts of felony child neglect.

Deputy Jackson was able to get the resources necessary to protect these minor children and get them into a safe environment.

The Dodge County Sheriff's Office is thankful for his actions and his commitment to protecting our community, especially the minor children in this case. This is an example of the level of commitment and professionalism of the deputies of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office. 

Lieutenant Nicholas presented Deputy Jackson with this Letter of Commendation.
