A veteran Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy retired this week, and most local residents may best know her as leader of the Sheriff’s Office’s posse.
After 26 years with the Sheriff’s Office, deputy Cathy Weeks announced her retirement, but she was not allowed to go quietly.
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office personnel, along with courthouse personnel, honored the veteran law enforcement officer with a luncheon at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center Thursday afternoon.
In addition to her duties with the all-volunteer posse, Weeks was assigned to courthouse security, working in the old courthouse and then the new justice center. She was inside the courtroom of some of the most interesting criminal cases in Flagler County history.
“You will be greatly missed,” Sheriff Jim Manfre told the Weeks. “I promise you that your legacy with the Sheriff’s Office’s posse will continue, and I hope you keep these volunteers in your thoughts.”
Manfre presented Weeks with a shadow box containing her gun, badge and uniform patches — one for her work on the courthouse security and the other depicting her posse leadership.
Weeks’ love of horses has been common knowledge in the Flagler community. She and posse members have patrolled the commercial corridor of Palm Coast, in the Cypress Point area.
She has been on horseback while participating in traffic enforcement, often using her horse to gain the attention of errant drivers who needed to pull over.
Weeks and her posse volunteers annually showed up on Beechwood Lane, in Palm Coast, for crowd control on Halloween, and she was a staple at the Flagler County Fairgrounds.
“There really aren’t too many things that you haven’t done with this agency,” Manfre said.
Shedding a few tears, Weeks spoke briefly during the luncheon in her honor.
“I am going to miss all of you,” she told her fellow deputies. “Just remember the most important thing: Always come home at night. Your family is the most important thing.”
