Lake County Sheriff’s Office initiates veteran ambassador program To better address first-response to veteran homelessness and veterans in-need and in-crisis, Sheriff Mark Curran partnered with the Lake County Veteran’s Assistance Commission, the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center, PADS Lake County, Midwest Veteran’s Closet and Medal of Honor Recipient Allen J. Lynch to ensure nobody is left behind.

They returned to their respective Sheriff’s Office Divisions to train remaining Sheriff’s Office personnel. Thus, Sheriff Curran’s deputies and other employees will become Veteran Ambassadors for the commission and Veterans Affairs. Included in the plan is a ‘Police Referral Card’, which includes emergency contact numbers for the Veteran Affairs along with other resources. A shelter plan was also implemented. Director Andrew Tangen remarked, “As Lake County Sheriff’s personnel are deployed throughout the County 24/7, they are ideal for engaging in conversation, assessment and transport.” “Sheriff’s personnel with a yellow ribbon and blue shield affixed to their squad have the training and confidence to positively impact this issue and help those in need,” Sheriff Mark Curran said. In addition, Medal of Honor Recipient Lynch helped to
