award is liability losses in conjunction with reduction in the total number of
accidents, as well as reduction in at-fault accidents. These types of losses over the most recent
coverage year are reviewed and the recipient of this award has the best
liability loss ratios of covered members (59) for that period of time.”
Sheriff McCallum credits all of
his deputies and personnel that are assigned vehicles for this award. Sheriff McCallum said, “We emphasize in our
training the importance of safety in vehicle operations, and I am very proud of
all of my employees for their improvement in this important area.” He also
stated, “We put millions and millions of miles on our vehicles every year in
one of the largest geographical counties in the state. To receive this top award is truly an honor
that I accept on behalf of the men and women of the Levy County Sheriff’s
Office.”
