Correction
In the latest edition of the Oklahoma Sheriff we made a
mistake and referenced the Sheriff of The Year Bill Winchester as
being from Garvin County. Sheriff Winchester is from Garfield
County. The association apologizes for this mistake and not catching
it in the proofing process.
  
Presented to a Sheriff for outstanding contribution to the Oklahoma
Sheriffs? Association, his/her office, County, State or the Nation
On
Saturday, August 15, 2009 at the 2009 OSA Awards Banquet, it was
announced that Sheriff Bill Winchester of Garfield County was the
2009 Sheriff of the Year,.

This year's Sheriff of the Year has served in every capacity,
ranging from Deputy, to Jail Administrator to Undersheriff to
Sheriff. During his tenure as Sheriff since 1999, he has been
diligent in ensuring the best for his staff, providing the best
equipment and training, in his quest to provide the very best law
enforcement to the people of his County. His dedication and
commitment to his Office are reflected in the professionalism of his
Department.
After his election as Sheriff he faced a dilemma of what to do with
an old, deteriorating and unsafe county jail facility. He embarked
on a bold a daring mission to construct a new facility, which opened
in 2003.
In
addition to his duties as Sheriff, he serves on the CLEET Advisory
Board, is a member of CODA, serves as an Executive Board Member of
the OSA, and has taken an active role in the Northwest Sheriffs and
Peace Officers Association. He also gives freely of his time to
teach classes to detention officers, jail administrators and
Sheriffs across the state. With all his other obligations he never
hesitates to take time to take the lead in building or repairing
community relations. His leadership skills in his community are
unequalled and his fierce determination to ensure all citizens are
treated fairly and objectively has gained him a stellar reputation.
His
staff writes: ?The Sheriff is a leader, manager, social
worker, counselor and a role model. He is a Christian man who
places God first in his life, which is mirrored in his everyday
character. He takes great pride in his family, in his church,
in his Office and in his community. He has established a
legacy within this office that will be hard for anyone to follow.
When it comes to our point of view, he is Sheriff of the Year every
year!.
