After a short break, Deputy Johnson came back to work at the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office at the request of Sheriff Douglas Pernell as a Court Security Officer. Deputy Johnson is currently serving the citizens of Dillon County in the same capacity.
Deputy Johnson has served under the leadership of four Sheriffs; Sheriff Harold Grice, Sheriff Major Hulon, Sheriff Douglas Pernell and is currently serving under Sheriff Jamie Hamilton.
Deputy Johnson said she is passionate about helping others. She loves what she does and said, “Thank you Lord I’m still able to serve.”
Sheriff Hamilton and the staff at the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office and Dillon County Detention Center congratulate Deputy Johnson on this milestone and wish her many more years with Dillon County.
