Sheriff Brockman announces plan to retire By Sheriff Josh Brockman I write this to inform that I have filed my intent to retire effective 10-01-24. This has been a difficult decision, however I have been eligible to retire for almost 3 years now and have pushed it off and continued to serve. It comes to a point where an individual can no longer ignore the matter. It comes to a point where you are moving backwards in your retirement and not forward. My family has asked me to slow down and come home and that's what I intend to do. I am going to do my best to give back to them as much time as I can because I've taken so much from them. I can only pray that the people of Adair County understand and feel that my family and I have given enough. I have served Adair County 23 years as a law enforcement officer with nearly 6 as your Sheriff. I have also served 13 years as volunteer firefighter with Columbia-Adair County Fire Department and 6 years as a part time EMT with Adair County EMS. In my heart, I know I've given the best of me. For some it will be enough, and for some, it won't. I accept that. Over the span of my career I've made plenty of mistakes and wish this job had redos at times, but I always did what I thought was right at the time. This is what I feel is right at this time. I thank God for keeping me safe and bringing me home each day throughout these years. There have been some close calls, but his hand was always upon me. Thank you to my wife Amy and my 3 sons Leighton, Gavin, and Camden for supporting me and understanding the sacrifices this job requires. I thank you the people for allowing me to serve. Thank you for all your support and thank you to all my staff. You guys are the best anyone could ask for. Your loyalty to me through hard times is unmatched. There are struggles the Sheriff's office faces and attention was brought to the fiscal court by me to try and address some of those concerns like retention, pay for deputies, and equipment. I would ask the public to allow time for the magistrates to see what they can do to maybe solve some of these things. They're not overnight fixes. They have always worked with me and I feel now that these issues are brought to light they can work to resolve them. Thank you and God Bless Adair County. I love ya, Sheriff Josh Brockman This story was posted on 2024-08-28 20:29:24
