The Steuben County Sheriff’s Office honored Corrections Sergeant Lorrie Gardner this week as she completed her final walkout, marking the end of a 25-year career in law enforcement.
Gardner began her service with the Sheriff’s Office in 2000. She was promoted to Acting Sergeant in June 2007 and became a full Sergeant in February 2008. Over the years, she became a respected leader and trainer, known for her work in suicide prevention and crisis intervention.
She also served for more than a decade as an instructor in the Basic Course for Corrections, helping train hundreds of new officers throughout the county.
Family, friends, and fellow deputies joined the Sheriff’s Office in celebrating her contributions and wishing her the best in retirement.
