In the heart of Prescott Valley, a unique coin toss took center stage as the NAZ Wranglers faced off against the San Diego Strike Force. Yavapai County Sheriff's Office's (YCSO) "Deputy Do Right," a figure of their community outreach, was the guest of honor performing the ceremonial flip last June 29. It was not just an ordinary night at the football game; it was Law Enforcement and Military Appreciation Night, a fitting tribute for the occasion, with Deputy Do Right front and center.
According to YCSO's news release, Deputy Do Right didn't just excel at the coin toss; he was also a part of a pre-game gift card award ceremony highlighting community heroes. Clearly a fan favorite, he spent time before and during the game mingling with fans, and taking pictures that will no doubt find a cherished spot on mantlepieces across Prescott Valley. Army crawling through selfies, shaking countless hands, Deputy Do Right was everywhere at once, it seemed, serving as a living bridge between law enforcement and the community.
The community connection didn’t stop with photo ops. The deputy joined the Wrangler's mascot, Whiskie, on the field, symbolizing a sportsmanlike détente following a halftime Nerf Red Cup target contest from the previous week. Taking the high road, Whiskie extended a metaphoric olive branch during this engagement, showing true sportsmanship after attempting to unfairly claim the title against Deputy Do Right at the June 23rd competition.
But the spectacle was about more than pomp and ceremony; it underscored YCSO's ongoing recruitment drive. Deputy Do Right embodies the community-friendly face of YCSO's recruitment efforts, a fixture at Wranglers' home games. For those keen on joining the ranks of YCSO, Deputy Do Right is the perfect mascot, presenting a career in law enforcement as accessible and community-oriented.
