From Sgt. Danny Ruth:

I would like to report Cpl Tracy Wade, Dep Lisa Zessin and Dep Dave Foster as being responsible and accountable. The mentioned Deputy's have done a great job in representing the Clay County Sheriff's Office in the past few months. As you may know the Dart unit along with the Clay County Circuit Court has developed a proogram in assisting victims of Domestic Violence in obtaining After Hours Ex-Parte's. This unit has done an excellent job along with The Courts IT Department in making Ex-Parte orders readily availible for victims. This program was designed to allow Law Enforcement Agency's to obtain After Hours Ex-Partes on line and assist the victims while they are with the agency and not have to send them to the Sheriff's Office. In conjuction with this program Cpl Tracy Wade completed a Lesson Plan, and with the assistance of the D.A.R.T Unit all law enforcement agency's in Clay County have been trained in this new program which has been a success. Since December of 2009, several agency's have used the program and have said nothing but good things about it and the D.A.R.T Deputy's who made it possible. The Deputy's have received calls in the middle of the night from agency's needing assistance and not one has complained. They treat this as a task that is needed in their every day job and run with it.
