The Kershaw County Sheriffs' Office is committed to providing quality law enforcement performance and effective community relations based upon trust.  We welcome commendations of Sheriff's Office personnel who admirably perform their duties and encourage citizens to recommend improvements regarding our service.  We also investigate any complaints or concerns about Sheriff's Office performance or the actions of its personnel.

COMMENDATIONS

 Commendations can range from a citizen's letter to a service award.  When providing commendation information in letter form please describe the events or incident along with the officer(s)/employee's name(s).  Let us know why they impressed you or assisted you.  What action did they take that made the difference? Depending on the circumstances surrounding the events or incident the employee's action will be considered and evaluated when deciding what level of recognition they will receive.  In all cases the employee and their supervisor will be notified regarding the commendation received.  The Sheriff will also receive the information and it will be placed in the employee's personnel file.
