Hunt has been sheriff in Floyd County for eight years and was re-elected this November. It's a great honor. I mean, it's humbling to know that your sheriffs, your peers across the Commonwealth agreed that things that you're doing and have done over the 12 months or eight years or whatever, you know, nominate you for this and accolades it. They think that you should have and be recognized for. So that's a great honor. But yeah, for a smaller county, you don't see a lot of it in smaller counties, you know. You don't have a lot of things that makes us stand out in the years time, but public service is one area that they really recognize. So outside of law enforcement, I mean, a lot of people know how to do police work, and a lot of people know how to do some tax collections or whatever. But it's the service that you give to the public over, you know, a course of a year or whatever that really makes you stand out. The department also received Deputy Sheriff of the Year for William Petrie, who was killed in the Allen shooting June 30th. Four medals of honor were also presented to the department for Dusty Newsom, Darren Lawson, Chris Hall, and K-9 Drago. It really reflects on my staff. I mean, I know it's given to me and it's in my name, but I mean, really, I'm blessed just to have the staff that I have and be surrounded by people who are, I mean, are embedded in the public service part of what we do. So that means a lot that it's not based on, I know the Allen shooting is a big deal and rightfully so, but it's actually an overall in a year's time of what you do. So our COS program was a big to do with it and our foundation. So you're very honored to have it, obviously, and we're blessed to be in the position we're in and to serve the people that we serve.
