The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office would like to introduce one of our newest deputies, Justin Nelson! Deputy Nelson graduated from the Western Arizona Law Enforcement Training Academy on June 12th and will soon begin his new assignment of patrolling the Mohave Valley area. Deputy Nelson grew up in Indiana, but moved to Arizona for the warmer weather and the outdoor activities. Deputy Nelson worked for six months as a Detention Officer at our Adult Detention before making the transition to deputy. Before that, he worked as an EMT and ER Technician. When asked why he wanted to become a deputy, Nelson stated, “I wanted to be part of a tight-knit community.” Welcome to the team Deputy Nelson!
