Sheriff presents life-saving awards; board honors long-serving deputy on retirement
Summary
Sheriff presented Distinguished Act awards to Morgan Walker for coordinating donated beds and to two sergeants for administering Narcan and CPR; the board adopted a resolution honoring Pamela Reeman for 38 years of service to the Effingham County Sheriff's Office.
The Effingham County Sheriff presented Distinguished Act recognitions at the county board meeting.
Morgan Walker was honored for coordinating donated beds and home repairs that ensured each child in a family of five had a new bed for Christmas. Sergeant Robin Brown and Sergeant Jonathan Shy were also recognized for saving a life in April after administering Narcan and performing extended CPR; sheriff's remarks said the subject made a full recovery.
The board also read and approved a resolution honoring Pamela Reeman for 38 years of service with the Effingham County Sheriff's Office. Sandy Rich moved to adopt the resolution and Doug McCain seconded; the motion carried by voice vote. In the resolution text the name appears with variant spellings ('Reman' and 'Reeman'); the board presented a clock and round of applause for Reeman.
Next steps: the sheriff presented lapel pins and awards during the meeting and the board will archive the retirement resolution with county records.
