The South Carolina Sheriffs’ Association has announced that Sheriff Kevin Tolson of York County has been selected as the Association’s 2019 Sheriff of the Year.
Tolson, a nearly 27-year law enforcement veteran who is currently in his first term as Sheriff of York County, was praised by his peers for successfully implementing several progressive initiatives in the Sheriffs’ Office.
Sheriff Tolson has also garnered high praise from fellow Sheriffs and community leaders alike for the manner in which he and his agency responded to one of the largest officer involved shootings in South Carolina’s history.
In January of 2018, The Sheriffs’ Association’s Sheriff of the Year Award will be presented to Sheriff Tolson at the Association’s Annual Conference, which will be held in Myrtle Beach in July.
In celebration of Sheriff Tolson receiving this esteemed award, Moseley Architects, a longtime supporter of the SC Sheriffs’ Association, will present Sheriff Tolson with a check for $1,000 for the Sheriff’s Foundation of York County.
