We are proud of the above-and-beyond service of our members and volunteers:

Corrections Officer Paul J. Faragoi, assigned to Main Jail Division, was awarded for corrections Deputy of the Quarter on Jul 30, 2008.

2nd quarter-2008 On Saturday, May 25, 2008 Corrections Deputies Marsha Sutphin and Paul Faragoi were processing an inmate on lewd and lascivious charges. The inmate was hesitant about signing his name and was unable to do so without looking at his arm band. Upon further investigation utilizing CJMS and AFIS this individual was found to have several aliases and was a prior sex offender that had been deported to Mexico. He was then detained for ICE. Due to these officers going that extra mile this sexual predator was removed form the streets of our community.

We are proud to name them as our Corrections Deputy’s of the quarter.

Lieutenant Augie Malagon, assigned to Delta (South) District, was awarded for Deputy of the Quarter on Jul 30, 2008.
