Mesa County Sheriff's Office hands out Volunteer of the Year Awards
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The Mesa County Sheriff's Office recently handed out its 2024 Volunteer of the Year Awards, highlighting contributions all over the sheriff's office.
Five people across the sheriff's department received awards for their contributions, in anything from search and rescue to the citizens on patrol unit.
One of the recipients, Dr. Carl Malito, volunteers at the Mesa County Detention Facility three nights a week while also serving as an emergency room physician.
Another recipient, Layne Whyman, retired from the sheriff's office in another role, but came back as a volunteer in support services.
Each recipient was given a plaque, and the sheriff's office took time to thank all of the countless volunteers for helping make daily operations just a little bit easier.
