6-Year Harford Sheriff's Veteran Named Top Correctional Officer

Deputy First Class Christopher Rosette often shows up to work early and stays late.

It's that dedication and enthusiasm that won him an award from the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

Rosette was named the Harford County Detention Center 2012 Correctional Officer of the Year at a statewide conference on June 2 in Ocean City, according to a release from the sheriff's office.

Rosette, who has been with the department since 2007, works in the Inter-Agency Processing Center at the detention center. The release cites Rosette's dedication and attention to detail that, according to sheriff's office officials, has even led to the discovery of contraband including tobacco and illicit drugs during searches of inmates.
