Officer of the Year Award<\/strong> \u2013 Deputy Sheriff Travis M. DeMuth <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sheriff Travis M. DeMuth has distinguished himself in the performance of service to the citizens of Genesee County during 2018. During this year, Deputy DeMuth has shown to be a reliable asset, he has maintained a consistent, positive attitude and has excelled in the performance of his duties. Specifically, during two incidents, Deputy DeMuth\u2019s instincts, investigative skills and proactive attitude contributed to the arrest of a well-known drug trafficker from Rochester who was in possession of 154 individually packaged quantities of cocaine, heroin and marijuana. These were confiscated and never made it to the streets to be sold in our community. Additionally, during another incident, Deputy DeMuth\u2019s calm demeanor, persistence, and decisive actions were instrumental in reviving an unresponsive victim and likely saved her life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
