🚔 SAFETY PAYS OFF! 🚔

Investigator Mike Manley was recently awarded $1,000 through the Florida Sheriffs Risk Management Fund’s Safe Driver Challenge, which encourages safer driving habits within sheriff’s offices statewide.

The program was launched in response to an increase in preventable crashes and emphasizes awareness of unsafe speeds, distracted driving, tailgating, and improper backing.

We’re proud to recognize Investigator Manley for setting the standard and putting safety first—both on and off duty. Great job! 💚
