The Kishwaukee College Board of Trustees honored retiring DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott with a commemorative plaque and resolution during the June 8 Board meeting.
Scott — who has served with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office since 1969 and as Sheriff since 1985 — announced in May he would be retiring from the role. The Sheriff’s Office has had a long partnership with Kishwaukee College providing campus security.
“I think everyone at Kishwaukee College has felt a sense of safety with the sheriff’s department on campus and with Sheriff Scott,” said Bob Johnson, Board Chair.
Scott, a Kish alumnus, commended the teamwork between the College and the Sheriff’s Office to create a safe learning and working environment for all.
“Sheriff Roger Scott has demonstrated his sincere and unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the students, faculty and staff of Kishwaukee College,” the resolution stated.
