After Rick Boone became Jackson County’s new sheriff, he chose to appoint his Lieutenant Derrick Bermea to be his Chief Deputy. On Facebook, Bermea said he didn’t think twice, so he was officially sworn in on January 8.
“Rick has definitely shown the faith he has in me and we have definitely created an awesome team. I couldn’t thank him enough for the opportunity and I will strive to be a great partner once again to continue the successes of the Sheriff’s Office,” Bermea said.
Bermea began the Police Academy 14 years ago and began setting goals for himself while beginning his career at the Calhoun County Sheriff’s office, where he was promoted to Narcotics Investigator. From there he was able to learn all aspects of law enforcement.
