Support for Sheriff’s Department at Putnam Budget Hearing Was Gratifying
I would like to thank the residents of Putnam County who took time out of their evening on Oct. 26 to participate in the public hearing on the Tentative 2021 budget. Your participation was important to our community so that your voices could be heard, and your concerns recognized by those who are elected to serve you. We the people should always be heard by our local government when it comes to government services and finances.
The recognition and support for the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department during the public hearing was overwhelming and greatly appreciated not only by me but by the women and men in public safety who serve you each day. As your sheriff I will continue to serve the people of Putnam County faithfully as a dedicated law enforcement professional, not a politician. I will stand by the members of the department and do right by our community.
In closing, I cannot thank our community enough for recognizing the shortcomings of this budget and the hard and diligent work that is done by the employees of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department to keep our community a safe place to live in, work in and visit given the hurdles we must overcome on a daily basis.
Robert L. Langley Jr.
