Sheriff Jeff Shaver, Chief Deputy Josh Summerford, Lt. Bo Jolly, and Chief Investigator Tony Monroy, held a ceremony to promote four deputies. The ceremony took place inside the County Commission chambers before the families of each newly promoted individual.

Promotional interviews were held last month before a panel of Sheriff’s Office leadership staff.

As a result, Cpl. Will Bailey was promoted to investigator, Deputy Daniel Holcomb and Deputy Kyle Newton were promoted to the rank of corporal, and Reserve Deputy Garry Thompson was promoted to corporal of reserves.

“Each of them play an important role at the Sheriff’s Office and are very dedicated to professional public safety in Cherokee County,” said Shaver, “and we are very fortunate to have them as part of the Sheriff’s Office team.”
