On Saturday, July 19th, at the Youth of Virginia Speak Out (YOVASO) annual banquet, Roanoke County Sheriff’s Deputy Joe Mullins was recognized as SRO of the Year and the William Byrd Middle School program Deputy Mullins co-sponsors was recognized as Club of the Year.
Deputy Mullins and the “Terrier Safety Squad” joined YOVASO as a new club in the winter of 2023. They have become the top Middle School Club in a little over 1 school year. The club won New Club of the Year at last summer’s banquet. Deputy Mullins puts in a great effort to assist the Safety Squad in promoting safe driving and passenger safety for teens. We want to congratulate Deputy Mullins on his well-deserved award and recognition.
