CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook says since taking office, she’s hit the ground running.
She won the election for sheriff back in August, but was appointed to the position early, after Darryl Daniels was removed from office amid a sex scandal. Though she was just sworn-in this month for her first term, Cook has already been on the job almost 5 months.
In that timeframe, Cook says she’s already made significant changes to the department, including increasing patrols when Clay County residents need them most.
