DCSO Service Members and Veterans’ Pinning Ceremony

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office proudly honored its brotherhood of service members and veterans during a pinning ceremony Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018 at 10am. Sheriff Tim Pounds honored the men and women with US Military lapel pins that they will wear on their Class A and B uniforms. The small token will be worn daily and could help to foster connections between the officers and citizen veterans they encounter daily.

There is a total of 77 service members and veterans that serve with the DCSO. These men and women have served a combined total of 630 years in military service to our country. Forty have served in the U.S. Army; six with the U.S. Navy; 17 with the U.S. Marines; five with the U.S. Air Force; and nine with the National Guard.
