Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott announces the following appointments to new positions, effective immediately:

Chief Deputy – Dale R. Homan
Colonel – James “Gill” Allen (Law Enforcement)
Colonel – Tom Ellegood (Corrections)
Major – Matt Powell (Patrol Bureau Commander)
Major – Tom Eberhardt (Corrections-Ortiz Site)
Major – Jim Barraco (Corrections-Downtown Site)
Captain – Matt Leclair (West/Charlie District)
Lieutenant – Mike Ciolino (West/Charlie District)
Sergeant – Rob Kizzire (West/Charlie District)
“Earlier this year several members of our Executive Command Staff retired and I chose not to replace those positions immediately,” said Scott in a prepared statement released Wednesday. “That decision was made to afford me ample time to revisit the command structure of our organization and consider candidates for that structure. It’s based on many different factors, none the least of which include the enormous responsibilities of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.”
