Sheriff Rick Staly recognized exceptional service by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office employees and members of the community during the Quarter 1 and 2 awards ceremony for 2020. Typically FCSO holds quarterly awards ceremonies where recipients can invite their families and friends to congratulate them. However, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the regular awards ceremony was postponed. During the week of Nov. 9, FCSO held several small ceremonies in order to recognize the award recipients.

“Unfortunately this is a very difficult year and that has caused us to postpone the awards ceremony multiple times,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “The members of this agency work extremely hard to serve this community and they deserve to be recognized. I am very proud of everyone and it is my honor to give them the awards they have earned. Thank you to our wonderful team for doing such a great job!”
