The DeWitt County Sheriff's Department recently received a grant from Enel Green Power.

DeWitt County Board Chair Terry Ferguson told Regional Radio News Friday morning on the WHOW Morning Show the Board accepted a $50,000 grant from Enel on behalf of the Sheriff's Department at the monthly meeting Thursday night.

Ferguson notes this is not an unprecedented move. Exelon has provided the department with funding during refueling periods in the past. He is grateful for Enel's generosity.

Ferguson says the Sheriff's Department is currently hiring new deputies and encourages anyone interested to contact the Sheriff's Department.
