Lest we forget the amazing father and deputy that Charles was. Our thoughts go out to his family today.

CHARLES “CHUCK” H. DICKEY, JR.
Born: May 4, 1953
Charles H. Dickey Jr. was sworn in as a deputy to Sheriff D. Douglas Bodrero in 1982 and served as a patrol deputy.
Shortly after midnight on March 18, 1984, Dickey was responding to a domestic disturbance call in Benson Ward. At Maughan’s Corner, his patrol car crashed into a canal bank and he died of internal injuries at the scene.
Chuck was a generous man with his time and resources, having adopted two children with special needs whom he loved. He was 30 at the time of his death and was survived by his wife, Trish, one daughter, and one son.
End of Watch: March 18, 1984

Have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day! Your life and the lives of others are more important then attempting to drive home while drunk. Make plans ahead of time and call a cab or a friend to give you a ride. #StPatricksDay

When you change the TIME on your clocks this weekend, do not forget to CHANGE the BATTERIES in your smoke alarms and flashlights. #BePrepared #DaylightSavingTime

This International Women's Day we salute the women that serve our community. Their talents, abilities, and dedication play an essential role in law enforcement! We are grateful to have dedicated women on our team. #InternationalWomensDay

No matter how much of a hurry you might be in, children's safety comes first. If a school bus has its red flashing lights on, you must come to a stop and remain stopped until the red flashing lights are turned off. #Safety #schools

Please help keep children safe. All drivers should slow down to 20 mph when they approach a school bus with flashing amber lights and be prepared to stop. This usually means that students will soon be entering or exiting the bus. As long as the lights remain amber, you may proceed with caution, but do not exceed 20 mph. #Safety #SchoolSafety #SlowDown
