Most Recent Reflection
View all 5 ReflectionsRemembering the service of Sheriff Broxson and ensuring his memory lives on. Clearly the sheriff was a "deputy's sheriff" and a true lawman. Thoughts and prayers remain with Senator Doug Broxson (son), Sheriff Annie Rachel Gordon Broxson (wife), the Broxson Family and the members of the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office.
