On Dec. 20th North Mississippi Community College Part Time Law Enforcement Officers Training Academy held it's Graduation ceremony. The Prentiss County Sheriff's Officer graduated three employees. Left to Right Rusty Burroughs, Justin Underwood, Elizabeth Lindsay and Sheriff Randy Tolar. I am very proud of their accomplishments. All three were recognized for their excellence of performance during the training. Rusty Burrough (Dispatcher) received the Highest Academic Award, Elizabeth Lindsay (Dispatcher) received the Driving Award for the Best Score and Justin Underwood (Corrections Officer) was recognized for receiving the third highest score in both Firearms Training and Physical Fitness Training. Now that these Officers have graduated they can serve in a sworn capacity that hopefully will relieve some of the full time sworn officers tasks such as transports and court duties.
