Ross County Jr. Deputies Program The Ross County Junior Deputies have made a comeback from the 1970's. The Program was started back in 1965 by the Ohio Buckeye Sheriff's Association. Until 1976 the young people that belonged strengthened themselves. Making each young man and woman a better person. In 1996 the Ross County Junior Deputies made a comeback. Now under the Leadership of Dep. Richard Groves and Dep. Bill Stansberry. The Junior Deputies also work to help patrol and see if anyone needs any information or assistance at other local events. A yearly thing for them is the Ross County Fair and The Feast of the Flowering Moon. You will also see them at the Gus Macker working and selling water to help raise funds. One of the things the funds were used for was for the purchase of 10 Emergency 911 Phones. The bus drivers at the Ross County Senior Center received some. The phones were used very quickly as one bus driver had to place an emergency call to get a woman on the bus medical attention. The other call was for a janitor at the Hopeton Village Apartments. The Junior Deputy Program is to help better the kids. Ranking Officers in the Junior Deputies, Capt. Richard Walsh and Lt. Brittany Knox Want to Join the Ross County Jr. Deputy's?
