| "The success of any organization is never based on the shoulders of one individual. The success of any organization the size of Lake County's Corrections Division is founded in the leadership of many individuals, and on the professionalism of the men and women who apply current jail operational concepts that mark an organization with a reputation of excellence. I am most fortunate to have the best supervisors, line officers. medical personnel, mental health professionals, food services professionals and treatment counselors in the Country working with me here at the Sheriff's Office. They are the foundation of our success in the field of Corrections!" (Chief Deputy Frank Leonbruno) |
