Sheriff Dodds administered the oath of office to Deputy Rachel Nickelson, who was accompanied by her parents, Sharon Savage and Glen Nickelson.
Deputy Nickelson was hired at the LCSO Jan. 14 as a corrections officer, and she completed the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy in 2014, she noted. Her job duties will continue in the corrections division, and she will be a great asset in assisting with female inmate transports and fulfilling other similar needs at the Logan County Jail, the sheriff said.
Among the promoted staff are Ryan Furlong, who has moved up from a sergeant’s position to his new rank of lieutenant, Sheriff Dodds said. He will continue working in the IT and communications department and will be the department’s Logan County Fair supervisor this year.
