In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The selection of Fleming for this monthly honor was made by the Special Thanks and Recognition (STAR) Committee, which reviewed four nominations for the February award. The committee’s decision was based on Fleming’s actions during the processing of a new inmate. Following an initial detection of an anomaly during a routine body scan by another officer, Fleming conducted a more thorough search. This diligent follow-up led to the discovery of contraband, successfully preventing its entry into the facility.
Fleming’s thoroughness and professionalism in this instance were noted as critical to upholding the safety and security protocols of the Franklin County Jail. His actions are seen as a direct contribution to protecting fellow staff members, inmates, and the overall integrity of the correctional facility. The nomination emphasized that by investing the additional time to ensure the situation was handled correctly, Fleming demonstrated a high level of dedication and adherence to the standards expected of correctional officers, making him a deserving recipient of the Employee of the Month award.
Colleagues who work with Kyle Fleming have also acknowledged his positive attributes. He is frequently described by his peers as a reliable and dedicated individual, known for being a strong team player with a robust work ethic. The Franklin County Commissioners extended their congratulations to Fleming, expressing gratitude for his exceptional performance and for embodying the high standards of knowledge, leadership, and excellence that benefit both the employees and residents of Franklin County.
