The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office would like to congratulate our six newest deputies who graduated from the Western Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy (WALETA) this afternoon. Christopher Golden, Bryon Kimber, Justin Nelson, Miles Short, Andrew Sundberg, and Torrey Thames completed a 20 week academy where they gained knowledge in criminal and traffic law, criminal investigation, defensive tactics, and much more. Chief Deputy Dean McKie presented our newest deputies with their Mohave County Sheriff’s Office badge, and a family member was invited on stage to pin them on. We are proud of our newest deputies for all of the hard work and dedication they have already given to this agency and look forward to seeing where this career path will take them.
