Sheriff James L. Agnew circulated the news that his agency has been recognized by
the Military Times for its efforts in recruiting military veterans.
Hiring
veterans, who bring a strong work ethic and personal discipline to the job, is
a good way to help these fine people transition from military to civilian life.
We owe our veterans, volunteers all, a debt of gratitude.

SPRINGFIELD, VA – Military Times today announces its Best for Vets: Law
Enforcement list for 2014.
The list shows
veterans which agencies make special efforts to recruit veterans, give them
hiring preferences over non-vets, provide retirement credit for time served in

“As with all
of the Best for Vets rankings, Best for Vets: Law Enforcement is an editorially
independent news project that evaluates the many factors that make an
organization or agency a good fit for military veterans,” said Amanda Miller,
editor of Military Times EDGE.
Best for Vets provides service men and women a gauge by which to judge
whether a law enforcement agency will truly benefit them. The list considers
agencies’ efforts to recruit current and former service members, policies
related to veterans and reservists, and departmental culture.
