Title

Vote on a request to approve to award a service weapon to retiring Chief Deputy Charles Gardner.

 

Abstract

Action Requested: Motion to surplus weapon and award the service weapon to Chief Deputy Charles Gardner on the event of his retirement from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office.

                     

Introduction & Background:  Chief Deputy Charles Gardner has served over 24 years with the county.

                     

Discussion & Analysis:  in the past, on the event of a long serving, sworn officer’s retirement, their assigned service weapon, Glock 9mm, model 17, has been surplused and presented to them upon their retirement.  It is our desire to honor Chief Deputy Charles Gardner’s service to Chatham County and its citizens in this way.

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:

                     

Budgetary Impact: None.  This will have no effect on our operating budget.

                     

Recommendation: Motion to surplus weapon and award the service weapon to Chief Deputy Charles Gardner on the event of his retirement from the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office.
