TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The man who led the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office for nearly three decades will posthumously get one of the state’s highest law enforcement honors.
The Florida Sheriffs Association says former Sumter County Sheriff William Farmer will be inducted into the Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame.
Farmer’s selection was approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida’s Cabinet.
Farmer died last month. He had retired in January after 28 years as sheriff.
