The Manatee County Sheriff's Office bolstered its ranks this week with the addition of three new deputies who have experience from other agencies. A recent post on the sheriff's office Facebook page announced the swearing-in of Deputies Brandon Bierman, Eric Fogle, and Rajindra Rajkumar by Captain Cary Chapman.

The trio, having served in various law enforcement capacities before their current appointment, were celebrated in the online post which conveyed a tone of both, welcome and anticipation with the office declaring "We are thankful they have chosen to join our team, and look forward to watching them grow in their careers of service!" indeed, this introduction of fresh faces into the Manatee County Sheriff's Office seems to signal a continuous effort to increase the department's capabilities and community involvement.
