East Lee County Chamber Chairman Mike Welch wrote an article in the East Lee County news publication the ROAR. He writes an article about the “Leadership Change at the Sheriff’s Office—East Zone”. Below is an excerpt:

“At this writing, I was introduced to the new District Commander for the East Zone of the Sheriff’s Office. Captain Mark Mallard, who has served our district over the past several years has been transferred to the west in the County. He has been an involved and enthusiastic law enforcement officer who has always been available 24/7, and his leadership is a credit to public service.

As of now, the Sheriff has chosen wisely and out of concern for the communities of East Lee County with the appointment of Captain Ryan Lowe. Captain Lowe is a seasoned and dedicated servant leader, and I had the opportunity to meet him recently. He has a good understanding of eastern Lee County and shares the concerns our community has with aggressive and dangerous driving, as well as the long list of criminal activity that is upon us in these times.”
