special invi and sponsor only so I just have a flyer for everybody and thank you Justin thank you so the purpose of the foundation uh the sheriff's office as you know a public office cannot spend public funds on certain things by law such as uh employee recognition U when officers need assistance as far as let's say covering medical bills if they're injured on duty uh different things like that if they had other things going on in their lives let's say somebody's unfortunately if somebody's house you know burns down or anything like that so the foundation has been set up to help support uh the members of the sheriff's office in those times of need uh as well as these special recognition opportunities such as the awards dinner because this will be the first Sheriff's Office Awards dinner it's terrific yeah if I might add here's important everybody the bullet County Sheriff's Foundation doesn't have anything to do with Sheriff Walt

Scher any future sheriffs or anything of that because we get elected to to uh be in charge of the Sheriff's Office the foundation is a totally separate thing it's got a board of directors that are not appointed by the sheriff or anything nature they they are a totally separate entity and it is to provide support to the Sheriff's office or members of the Sheriff's Office and any request for funding uh for some project or anything like that goes to the board and that board would make a determination as to whether to expend Foundation funds which are private funds for that it is a 501c3 organiz so any donations to the Bulet County Sheriff's Foundation are tax deductible and uh very much appreciated by uh the community and and uh the idea Mount Washington police department created a Washington police foundation back in 2019 and the Louisville police foundation they've been in existence for quite some time there's a number of of

police organizations law enforcement organizations St that have uh foundations and it provides we have a deputy for instance that runs out of sick time because they were shot are are injured not on duty but let's say they get injured on duty and they get Workers Comp well workers comp is less than what their pay is so they start running into trouble because they serve the people of bullet County and they can't support their family properly this Foundation could provide them with additional funds that would be illegal for the Sheriff's Office to provide so that's the purpose of it and any help anybody can give uh to uh the foundation uh to provide you know funds that we're hoping it's going to we're going to be putting on some other fundraisers or the foundation is as the time goes by to generate funds for it and anybody and everybody's help and assistance and prayers for it success would be greatly appreciated okay thank you well Dustin thank you for all your work that you put into this and energy thank you yeah thanks a lot it's great idea okay um the next guest speaker that
