Westmoreland County Sheriffs Office
SHERIFF’S OFFICE RECOGNIZED FOR CONTINUED ACCREDITATION
Westmoreland County’s Sheriff’s Office appears to be well aware that complacency can render an achievement moot. Since achieving accredited status with the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission (VLEPSC) in May of 2006, the Sheriff’s Office has been working to maintain that status. At last week’s County Board of Supervisors meeting, it was announced, to the applause of many present, that the WCSO had once again continued its yearly streak of accredited status.
Worship Watch comes to Little Zion Baptist Church
Enough tragedies have happened in churches across the country that the public increasingly acknowledges that horrid things can happen in houses of worship. Instead of letting worries fester, First Sergeant Antwan Smith of the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office decided that keeping people aware and prepared was the best approach. Thus, the Worship Watch Program was born.
