West Central Tribune – The Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association honored the Renville County sheriff’s deputy Jeffrey Wallace Nelson ’11 as Deputy Sheriff of the Year.
“I don’t feel I deserve anything like that,” Nelson said. “I just do my job. I feel I try to do it to the best of my ability every day.”
It starts with patrol work, where Nelson has proven himself to be one of the department’s leading officers in removing unsafe drivers from the roads. Minnesota’s Mothers Against Drunk Driving honored him with its “outstanding rookie” award in 2013 for that work.
