Episode 157: Liberty County Sheriff Dusty Arnold

In this episode, FSA speaks with Liberty County Sheriff Dusty Arnold. We discuss how his hard work as a young staff member led to an opportunity to attend academy, become a trooper with the Florida Highway Patrol and later build a career with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as a special agent assigned to protect Governor Rick Scott and the First Family. As a fourth-generation Liberty County resident, Sheriff Arnold takes great pride in serving his community and has made combating drug trafficking and drug addiction a top priority since being elected the 30th sheriff of Liberty County in 2024. Since taking office, Sheriff Arnold and his team have taken on several new and exciting initiatives, and we cover it all during our conversation. ________________________________________ Thanks for listening to FSAcast.  Listen to every episode at flsheriffs.org/fsacast.  Enjoying the conversation?
