CUMBERLAND DEPUTY AWARDED OFFICER OF THE YEAR BY STATE HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE
From Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office:
On behalf of Sheriff Casey Cox and the entire staff of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, we proudly congratulate Deputy Shawn Aytes on being awarded Officer of the Year by the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.
Deputy Aytes recently completed the Emergency Medical Responders (EMR) program — an intensive course requiring extensive study, hands-on training, and practical application. What makes this accomplishment especially significant is that he completed the program while enduring the tragic loss of his 19-year-old son. He missed only one day of training and returned immediately to finish the course.
Deputy Aytes’ resilience and dedication during such an unimaginable hardship reflect great credit upon himself and the Sheriff’s Office. His commitment to his duty, his training, and the community is deeply respected by all of us.
Join us in congratulating Deputy Shawn Aytes THSO Officer of the Year. Your example honors the badge and those you serve. Thank you.
