I would like to thank Donald B. Smith for his 16 years of dedicated service as Putnam County sheriff. He served all of the people who make Putnam home, as well as visitors to our wonderful county.

Under Don’s leadership, the Sheriff’s Office has grown and evolved in the protection of our community, and strong progress has been made by our law enforcement officers and emergency services. We have all benefited. I would like to wish Don well as he begins a new chapter in his life.

Sheriff Robert L. Langley Jr., Carmel
