Annual Report

In this year’s introduction I’ve decided not to focus on any particular division but to dedicate the annual report to all the men and women who work diligently for the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department.

As Sheriff, I feel very fortunate to have a well diverse group of men and
women who work hard to make every division strong. Whether I’m at
the jail or on patrol I see firsthand how patience and professionalism
are displayed in the utmost respect for each individual they come in
contact with.

I am pleased to submit this annual report with respect and gratitude to
each person who has increased the efficiency of the Berrien County
Sheriff’s Department and who has established the confidence of the
public.
