Letter from the Sheriff
Since being elected to this office, one of my major concerns is the care and well being to the Senior Citizens of Rutherford County. With these concerns in mind, I have implemented a program within my department called “Are You Okay”. This program is designed to check on you every day and to help you have the peace of mind to know that someone cares about you and is going to check on you daily. The “Are You Okay” program is designed to fulfill that need. I am implementing this program because, YOU, as seniors have made Rutherford County a wonderful place to live and grow. With all you have given this community, I feel this is one way I can give something back to you.
