Sheriff’s Detention Lt. David Hutsell earned re-certification and Lt. Glen Edgell earned certification as Certified Jail Managers from the American Jail Association.

The Certified Jail Manager certification shows the manager documents a strong level of knowledge and competency of jail manager. The certification reflects one of the highest achievements in corrections.
“It plays a significant role in the elevation of professionalism and provides an opportunity for professional growth by encouraging education which, in turn, fosters effective management practices,” AJA reported.

All four supervisors voluntarily studied and tested to achieve the certification.
