Yesterday, Chief of Staff Karla West announced our July Employee of the Month, Tawanna Darby, and Officer of the Month, Anibal Hernandez Sanchez.

Congratulations to our July Officer of the Month, Deputy Anibal Hernandez Sanchez! Recently a Lebanon, Tennessee citizen shared a story that beautifully reflects Deputy Sanchez’s dedication to helping others. While stopped at a traffic light, Deputy Sanchez in his personal vehicle, noticed that a woman had a flat tire. He alerted her and followed her to a nearby gas station but they did not have an air pump.

Without hesitation, Deputy Sanchez used his personal electric pump to add air to the tire. He then went a step further, locating the source of the leak and repairing it with a tire repair kit he had with him.

Deputy Sanchez was off duty and had no obligation to stop and help, but he saw someone who needed assistance and chose to make a difference. His willingness to serve, even when he was off the clock, is a true reflection of the kindness, compassion, and dedication we value in our deputies.

Congratulations to our Employee of the Month for July, Tawanna Darby! Darby’s kindness, dedication, and willingness to always go above and beyond are what make her such an exceptional person and employee. She works hard every day, is always willing to pitch in and help others, and makes even the most stressful days more enjoyable with her contagious spirit and positive attitude. Her commitment to supporting her team and creating a positive workplace does not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all that she brings to our agency.

We recently hosted Tennessee Department of Correction for monthly Crisis Intervention Team (CIT). Our partnership for CIT training helps prepare staff and officers to recognize the signs and symptoms of a mental health crisis while providing practical strategies for effective de-escalation. We’re proud to continue investing in training that promotes safer, more compassionate responses.
