responding to over 1,100 calls for service and serving as the reporting officer on more than
180 cases and incidents; and

deputies to a welfare check involving a missing adult female, demonstrating his commitment
to protecting the well-being of the citizens he serves; and

life-threatening situation when an armed assailant attacked him with a knife, striking him
across the face and continuing the assault as Deputy Glass attempted to retreat and defend
himself; and

extraordinary courage, composure, and presence of mind by defending himself and alerting
fellow deputies, actions which ultimately contributed to stopping the threat and preventing
further harm; and
WHEREAS, subsequent investigation revealed that the incident was connected to a tragic
homicide within the residence, further underscoring the dangerous and unpredictable nature
of the situation confronted by Deputy Glass; and

communities.
