At this week’s meeting of the Homestead Valley Community Council (HVCC), Morongo Basin Sheriff Captain Luke Niles and Lieutenant Michael Walker recognized Jim Harvey as the Sheriff’s Citizen of the Year. Hilary Sloane joins us now with the story…
There were several reasons for selecting Jim Harvey as the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Citizen of the Year. Sheriff’s Captain Luke Niles said that Harvey has been an extraordinary leader while serving on the HVCC Board. Harvey is actively engaged in all the important issues in our communities and works diligently to educate himself and fellow residents regarding problems and takes a logical approach to finding solutions. He is a wonderful partner of the Sheriff’s Department, sincerely committed to public safety. Harvey communicates with Lieutenant Walker and Captain Niles regularly to make them aware of budding problems and works just as hard as they do to address and handle those issues.
Both Captain Niles and Lieutenant Walker wanted to show their appreciation for all the thanks-less hours they know Jim Harvey puts in, often behind the scenes, to help the Sheriff’s Department with public safety goals.
