(From the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office)

Today we gathered to honor and celebrate the career of someone who has been the backbone of our office for nearly three decades. After 28 years of dedicated service, our Fiscal Officer is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of commitment, integrity, and excellence.

In law enforcement, much of the work that ensures our success happens behind the scenes. Budgets balanced, contracts reviewed, and every dollar accounted for—all so deputies, corrections officers, and staff can focus on serving our community with confidence. For 28 years, Becky Smith has carried this responsibility with professionalism and care, making sure the Sheriff’s Office could operate smoothly and effectively.

It is no exaggeration to say that Becky Smith’s work touched every member of this agency. From making sure we had the resources we needed to planning responsibly for the future, she has been a steady hand and a trusted advisor.

As Becky begins this next chapter of life, we want to say thank you—not only for the years of service, but for the friendship, dedication, and loyalty shown to this office and to the citizens of Hancock County.

On behalf of the entire Sheriff’s Office, congratulations on your retirement. You have more than earned it, and we wish you many years of happiness and good health ahead.
