New Deputies

After being sworn in last week, three new deputies are joining the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Gerardo Vasquez, Deputy Jonathan Gove and Deputy Devon Satallante were sworn in by Sheriff Paul C. May in his office chambers.

The new hires are assigned to the Road Patrol Division.

Congratulations and welcome to OCSO.

Deputy Sheriff’s Prayer

When I start my tour of duty God,

wherever crime may be,

As I drive the darkened streets,

let me be close to thee.

Please give me understanding

with both the young and old.

Let me listen with attention

until their story’s told.

Let me never make a judgment

in a rash or callous way.

But let me hold my patience,

let each man have his say.

Lord if some dark and dreary night,

I must give my life,

Lord with your everlasting love protect my family and wife.
