110. Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast

In this episode, FSA speaks with Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast, who has served his country in the U.S. Army, his state as the executive director of the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs and now the citizens of Citrus County as their elected sheriff.  We talk about how those life experiences helped shape his service as sheriff as well as the numerous leadership roles he has accepted within the Florida Sheriffs Association. Sheriff Prendergast currently serves as the Chair of FSA's Cold Case Advisory Commission, is the Zone 4 Task Force Chair and is also the Vice Chair of the FSA's Board of Directors. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, and you will gain a better appreciation for why Sheriff Prendergast is so passionate about serving and protecting those in need. ________________________________________ Thanks for listening to FSAcast.  Listen to every episode at flsheriffs.org/fsacast.  Enjoying the conversation?
