There’s a new Sheriff at the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, but he’s not new to the agency or to the community.
Former Administrations Bureau Major Eric Aden was officially sworn in today by Okaloosa Clerk of Court JD Peacock, also a former OCSO deputy.
Sheriff Aden ran unopposed for the seat, putting him in charge of an agency with 459 sworn and civilian personnel. Sheriff Aden said becoming Sheriff is the greatest honor of his life and his goals are to build on the OCSO’s current success as a state and nationally accredited agency that enjoys outstanding community support.
He credited outgoing Sheriff Larry Ashley, saying he brought great integrity to the OCSO and calling him “one of the greatest leaders I’ve ever known”. Sheriff Aden continued, “We will draw the line in the sand and hold that line to protect our citizens from evil. It’s what they want and expect and we will provide it.”
The new OCSO Undersheriff is Charlie Nix and the new Chief Deputy is Ken LaPee.
Excerpts from the ceremony can be found on the OCSO YouTube page:

This is just placeholder text. Don’t be alarmed, this is just here to fill up space since your finalized copy isn’t ready yet. Once we have your content finalized, we’ll replace this placeholder text with your real content.
Sometimes it’s nice to put in text just to get an idea of how text will fill in a space on your website.
Traditionally our industry has used Lorem Ipsum, which is placeholder text written in Latin. Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with Lorem Ipsum and that can lead to confusion. I can’t tell you how many times clients have asked me why their website is in another language!
There are other placeholder text alternatives like Hipster Ipsum, Zombie Ipsum, Bacon Ipsum, and many more. While often hilarious, these placeholder passages can also lead to much of the same confusion.
If you’re curious, this is Website Ipsum. It was specifically developed for the use on development websites. Other than being less confusing than other Ipsum’s, Website Ipsum is also formatted in patterns more similar to how real copy is formatted on the web today.
