I would like to extend a big thank-you to the United States Deputy Sheriffs Association for their generous donation of 9– “POINT BLANK” bullet proof vests for the Brown County Sheriffs Deputies.

Retail value on these vest would be well over $6,000.

These vests will replace old, outdated vests that could compromise the safety of our deputies. We have established a great partnership with USDSA over the past 9 years as they have provided other equipment as well as training on officer survival and defense tactics.

Thanks again to Mike Willis and everyone at USDSA who made this generous donation possible and for their continued partnership with law enforcement throughout the United States.
