“This is a unique program that offers a broad spectrum of training to county officials and employees to provide them with the knowledge to better serve their constituents,” said Robin Roberts, executive director of CTAS. CTAS is an agency of the statewide UT Institute for Public Service.

Each course in the program is designed to aid county government officials in performing their jobs and efficiently administering county services. Classroom topics include ethics, fire insurance ratings, finance, records management, proactive leadership, and information technology proficiency.

“This program has given me some valuable insight that will help me not only operate the Sheriff’s Office more effectively and efficiently, it has also given me a much deeper understanding of County Government as a whole,” said Sheriff Fuson. “My Chief Deputy completed this program with me and I currently have two additional Command Staff members enrolled in the program to broaden their knowledge as well.”

Sheriff John Fuson is one of only seven Sheriff’s out of the ninety-five in the state of Tennessee to hold the Certified Public Administrator certification.
