Four new deputies were sworn into the Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office today.

“Please welcome Deputies Hernandez, Feldman, Gonzalez and Lacerte who were sworn in earlier today on to the Uniformed Patrol Division by Sheriff Stephen. We wish them well as they continue on from their orientation process to starting their field training,” stated Deputy Sheriff Jack Nash.

Sheriff Noel E. Stephen administered the Oath of Office at 11:30 a.m. this morning. Our new deputies are Deputy Kenneth Hernandez, Deputy Robert Feldman, Deputy Robert Gonzalez and Deputy Joel Lacerte. The four new deputies all recited the Oath of Office and their families got the chance to pin their badges to their uniforms.

Congratulations to each of you!
