Year: 2020

Each day of the year, despite weather conditions or operation tempo, Deputies in the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office conduct outside security rounds at our jail. These rounds, conducted at random every 4-5 hours, are completed for a variety of reasons. Mainly they are accomplished to ensure the integrity of our inner perimeter is maintained and to deter breaches and contraband drop offs. In December of 2018 we established the Legacy Lane around the inner perimeter of our jail. The Legacy Lane was envisioned and implemented to forever remember those who have left this life, while actively serving our office (not a line of duty death). Legacy Lane will be our way of remembering these individuals as we continue making our rounds around the path, i.e. our lane, at the jail, never forgetting the times we had with those individuals. For those newer employees who never had the chance to meet the ones we have lost, it is chance to learn about them and the impact they made to our office and our lives.
