Hancock County Sheriff's Office honors the fallen this Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office pauses to honor and remember the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our nation.
Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that the freedoms we enjoy came at a great cost. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude and support to the families and loved ones who continue to carry their loss.
As we gather with family and friends, we ask our community to take time to reflect on the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who never returned home.
Today, and every day, we honor them. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Sheriff Michael Cortez Gives Notice of Recognition and Appreciation to National Police Week

As Sheriff, I want to take a moment to recognize National Police Week and express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the men and women who serve in law enforcement.
National Police Week is a time set aside to honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers across our nation, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. It is also a time to recognize the dedication, courage, and commitment of those who continue to serve and protect their communities each day.
Here in Hancock County, we take this week to recognize and honor the men and women of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office who continue to serve our communities with integrity and courage. Their work is not always easy, but their commitment to public safety, professionalism, and service to others makes a meaningful difference every day.
On behalf of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, I thank our deputies and all law enforcement professionals for your continued service, sacrifice, and dedication.
