Russell Reichley was sworn in as the newest corrections sergeant. Reichley went through the promotion process before he was offered the position. This is the first time the sheriff’s office has opened the promotion process to becoming a corrections officer.

“I worked very hard for this, and I will do the best I can,” Reichley said. “I’ve had a very good teaching staff. I’ve learned a lot and I’m still learning.”
