The 2023 winner of the Lee County Officer of the Year is a deputy who was thrown into the worst kind of violence before she had even finished training.
Deputy Michelle Wilson has only been with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office for a little more than a year.
“That’s incredible,” Wilson said after learning she had been nominated. “Let’s just say I’ve learned about and experienced a lot more than people have ever done in their career.”
Wilson received a sobering experience while still learning from a field training officer, before she even got her own patrol vehicle. Here’s link to WINK News spotlight on Officer Wilson.
