On Thursday March 30th, it was my pleasure to watch Desha County Clerk Valerie Donaldson administer the Oath of Office to Desha County’s newest Deputy, Alan Hernandez. I knew Alan when he began as a radio operator, and in the two years that he has been a certified Law Enforcement Officer, he has obtained numerous specialized certifications and training certificates. Deputy Hernandez graduated the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy in April, 2021. Deputy Hernandez comes to us from the Dumas Police Department, where he worked in both the Patrol, and Criminal Investigation Divisions. We are proud to have him join our team, and we continue to build a quality product for the good people of Desha County.
-Sheriff Mitch Grant
