For
the first time, The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Posse is honoring not one, but
two of its own as “Posse Member of the Year.”
Gene Brow
der
and Mark Drewery, both residents of
the Crestview area, have been selected as co-winners of the annual award for
2004. Each has averaged more than 500 hours of volunteer time per year for the
past six years. Browder and Drewery are both certified as Auxiliary Law
Enforcement Officers, and have completed the same training required for
full-time law enforcement officers in Florida.
The Sheriff’s Posse is a volunteer organization that provides manpower
to serve the citizens of Okaloosa County. Posse members assist Deputies on
patrol, escort and transport prisoners, guard crime scenes, provide security at
football games and other public events, and perform many other duties.
