SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISH
|
|
|
|
As 2022 comes to a close, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on this past year. I am so grateful for the support of my family, long-time friends and for all the new friends I have been blessed to cross paths with during this time. The opportunity I have been given to serve our community is one I will be forever appreciative of. We truly have one of the most charitable and loving districts in our county. The dedication and love of the people is the reason we have such a special place to call home. So as this year ends and the new one begins, I want to personally wish you all a Blessed and Merry Christmas full of happy memories with family and friends and a prosperous New Year.
Your Humble Public Servant,
Mary

MEET THE GREAT PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTY
|
 |
|
|
Meet Sgt. Knox and Officer Cartwright. Sgt Knox has served the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office for over 10 years. He was born and raised in our County and is a graduate of Page High School. He and his wife and children currently live in Williamson County.
Officer Cartwright has been there for just over a year after serving several years as an officer in Hickman County. He and his wife still reside in Hickman County and are expecting their first child this next spring. This past week I had the opportunity to ride along with both of these great men as they patrolled our roads to make sure our families are secure and our roads are safe.
While I learned more than I could ever share here, there’s no doubt that our officers have a heart for what they do and we are very fortunate to have such great people dedicated to the families who live here. If you happen to encounter any of our men or women in brown or blue, be sure to let them know how much we appreciate their service to our county.
