In a ceremony steeped in tradition and honor, a new group has raised their right hands and taken the oath to serve and protect the residents and visitors of Walton County.
These moments are more than formalities—they’re rites of passage.
For each new deputy, this event marks the beginning of a lifelong commitment to our community. As their family pins on their badge, they join a legacy of those who have walked before them—peacekeepers who stand the line with resolve and heart.
To our newest deputies, carry your badge with pride, honor the oath you swore, and lean on the support of your loved ones.
Welcome to the family.
