The Swearing in and badge pinning of Tribal Citizen Wade Owen as a Del Norte County Reserve Deputy

An historical moment today at the swearing in and badge pinning of Tribal Citizen Wade Owen as a Del Norte County Reserve Deputy.

Sheriff Apperson led him in the oath of office, and Wade’s wife Amber pinned his badge on. (This happened at the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors meeting).

He will now begin his 3 month training with the Sheriff’s Office.

The MOU signing with the Board of Supervisors, the Sheriff and Tribal Council will take place at 4pm on October 19 at Xaa-wan’-k’wvt Hall.
