Today the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office celebrates the graduation of Deputies Michael Bates and Chad Craney from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Deputies Bates and Craney were two of one hundred fifty three to graduate in the Plainfield academy’s two hundred and thirty second academy. Today we welcome to the seventeen thousand other law enforcement officers in the state of Indiana!
This new building will include the County Jail, the Sheriff’s Office, and the 911 Dispatch Center.
The construction site is located along E. Brumfield Ave. directly behind the existing jail. You can keep up on our progress by watching our live-stream construction camera.
Corrections Officer Fernando Bello
At 6 a.m. on May 28th, 2023, Officer Bello was working the jail board in our dispatch center when a 911 call came in from a Hispanic female. At the time neither of the Communications Officers could understand or speak Spanish. Officer Bello, who is a native of Brazil, speaks not only English but Portuguese and some Spanish. With this knowledge, he was able to translate on the fly for the dispatcher to get medical help to the caller.
“I am extremely proud of Officer Bello for stepping out of his comfort zone and getting help to one of our citizens. ” – Sheriff Vanoven
