“I think you know what I’d like to say to the little girls out there is, you can grow up to be a police officer, it’s doable it’s definitely something that is an honorable profession and if you want to serve your community,” Cook said. “There is no better way to serve your community then boots on the ground serving as a law enforcement officer.”

Cook said she reviewed the budget on Tuesday and will review one of Daniels’ priorities — increasing the number of deputies on the street.

Cook assured Clay County residents they will be safe.

In a sane world she'd have been the one administering the oath, and the officer in blue holding the bible would've been the one taking it.

What are you referring to? She has no authority to Administer oaths.

Why can't these idiot "journalists" take the time to proofread?

After first stating that girls should become policemen? I don’t think I would feel safe with her in charge.

In order to give her a head start leading the agency, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday appointed former Atlantic Beach Police Chief Michelle Cook as the next Clay County Sheriff.

Cook, who won the Republican primary in August, was not going to face any challengers in the general election in November after a write-in candidate dropped out last month.

Ok, now I understand. Due to the lacking excerpt, I was going to say; "I thought sheriffs were elected".

Okay. Now I understand. I mistakenly thought FReepers read an article before they commented upon it. It's why the OP is required to provide a link and a URL.

OTOH, what the heck is a "lacking excerpt"?

I was able to get the point across with a two sentence excerpt.
