The MCSO has always expressed families first!! I didn t realize how much that is true until recently when my family had a health issue. Not only did our HR dept. guide me through the steps, and COT 52 started this week Front Row, left to right: Patrick Polynice, Jeremy Jarvis, Katia Chacon, Stacy Johnston, Yasmin Oats, Cesar Martinez. Back Row, left to right: Micah Magwood, Israel Rodriguez, Edward Vargas, Reynol Dominguez, Juan Valdes, Ricardo Aristil.

The race starts at 0800, we need volunteers from 0700 to 1100. If you can help please email Major Tim Age. Capt. Sweeney called to check on us, but our very own Sheriff, Rick Ramsay, personally called me to ask how we were and express his best wishes we have over 500 people working at MCSO from Plantation Key to Key West and our sheriff took the time to call us!!! WE truly have an amazing agency and I am proud to work with some of the finest people in the Florida Keys!! And I wanted to thank our Sheriff for always going above and beyond to express, not only are families first at MCSO, but that we are all a part of his family at the Monroe County Sheriffs Office.
