C. O. Alan Weaver promoted to Sergeant

At a promotional ceremony held today, Sheriff Thomas E. Mills of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office announced the promotion of Correction Officer Alan Weaver to the rank of Correction Sergeant.

In his presentation, Sheriff Mills told C. O. Weaver that the rank of Sergeant is an honor bestowed on those who have shown outstanding leadership capabilities. However, it carries with it grueling work, never-ending diligence and painstaking attention to details. It is the Sergeant who bears the responsibility for the actions of not only himself, but also the officers he supervises. He must strive to be fair to his subordinates, accountable to his superiors and loyal to the agency he serves. It is a tough balancing act and not a position to be approached by the timid.

Alan Weaver joined the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office in 2003. Many of his family members and friends participated in the ceremony honoring his promotion into this entry-level managerial position. Sheriff Mills concluded the ceremony with a presentation of sergeant stripes and the promise that Sgt. Weaver’s fellow officers and the Sheriffs’ administration congratulate him upon his success and stand ready to help him achieve a smooth transition.
