Sheriff's Office Code of Ethics |
Sheriff, Ron Gillispie, was first elected in November 2001 and took office in January
2002. After implementing many positive changes including the replacement of Wachenhut Security with
retired deputies and police officers for court room security, TDO
(Temporary Detention Order) transports
taken over from Lynchburg Police Department in October of 2002 allowing police officers to stay in Lynchburg policing the streets
and, as promised during his campaign, bringing the Project Lifesaver program to Lynchburg, the Sheriff was re-elected in November
2005.
Virginia State Coordinator for Project
Lifesaver International
Sheriff Gillispie
accepted the appointment as the Virginia State Coordinator for
Project Lifesaver International. Chief Executive Officer Gene
Saunders was on hand to make the presentation to Sheriff Gillispie.
The State Coordinator assists Project Lifesaver International by
providing trainers for new Virginia agencies that desire to
implement the Project Lifesaver program to their individual
communities. This provides these agencies certified training from a
public safety agency in their state which enhances the programs
effectiveness in delivery of the training and cost reduction.
The selection of State Coordinator is the highest recognition and
endorsement that Project Lifesaver International can bestow on a
member agency.
