SHERIFF SHOWS FORMER SHERIFF’S NEW DISPLAY

New Display of Former Sheriffs A new home was found at Headquarters for photos of all former Sheriff’s of Charlotte County. Florida Lt. Governor Jeffrey Kottkamp was one of the first to view the display shown to him by Sheriff Bill Cameron on a recent visit.

The display originally occupied space on the HQ lobby walls, but due to lack of space, the photos were moved in a hallway by two training classrooms where special events are held and many people see the display.
