Sheriff hosts jailer training for five counties

Melvin Bowser with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards presented inmate suicide prevention course for jailers, part of the training hosted by Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office for 58 jailers from Lavaca, Calhoun, Jackson, Gonzales and Fayette counties last week.

“The safety and mental health of our inmates is something we take very seriously,” said Sheriff Micah Harmon, adding, “We would like to thank Hallettsville Knights of Columbus Council No. 2433 for the use of their facilities.”
