Deputy Chief Daryl Longworth says, “It is an honour and a privilege for me to be a part of this ceremony to recognize the outstanding contribution that S/Sgt. Shelton has made to this community. Having worked alongside Sgt. Shelton for a number of years I can attest to the commitment and dedication that she has shown this profession and towards the City of Woodstock. It is important to point out that this medal is not only awarded based on tenure but is recognition of long and meritorious service”.
