On August 27, 2013, Sheriff
McCallum and his staff met to honor members of the Citizens On Patrol (COPS)
for the service they provide to the citizens.
Among many other things, these volunteers work traffic details for
parades, funerals school zones and sporting events. The COPS also assist the LCSO Civil Division
with various duties at the courthouse.
The assistance provided by
these volunteers allows deputies to concentrate on law enforcement duties. In the process, the COPS save the Levy County
The highlight of the
ceremony was the recognition of Mrs. Mary Cowart for providing over 10,000
hours of service. Mrs. Cowart attended
the very first LCSO volunteer academy class in the 1990’s. At that time the program was called
“VOICE”. Sheriff McCallum presented to
Mrs. Cowart an engraved clock symbolizing her time and effort given to the
citizens. Sheriff McCallum also
presented a blanket to Mrs. Cowart which was embroidered with the LCSO
logo.
