Fulton County Sheriff's Department Reserve Deputy Stephen Garrison was recently recognized with the 2023 Sheriff's Standout Performance Award

With staff and their families present at the Fulton County Sheriff's Office Christmas party Sheriff Travis Heishman awarded Garrison with the 2023 Sheriff’s Standout Performance Award. This award recognizes a staff member who goes above and beyond for the office and the citizens of Fulton County.

Garrison has been a member of the FCSO for five years. He has taught every deputy and corrections staff First Aid, AED, and CPR. Garrison has also taught some of the FCSO inmates these lifesaving skills.

Garrison has offered to go through the trauma kits making sure they are properly stocked and provided guidance on what to include. The post by the Sheriff's Office notes he can always be counted on to volunteer whether that be with rolling up his sleeves to wire up the FCSO ATV with turn signals and tail lights to handing out junior deputy badge stickers to children in local parades.

“Reserve Deputy Garrison is always of the first ones to volunteer for a work assignment and assists on the road for even the worst of details. He has quickly become an invaluable asset to the FCSO. There is not a task or duty he wouldn’t help with, and I applaud his dedication to the FCSO. He has a giving heart that is both notable and honorable," stated Sheriff Heishman.
