The newest Summit County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant is Kacey Bates, the second woman to hold a sworn command position in a county that had its first sheriff in 1861.
Bates was promoted late last month to corrections division lieutenant and jail commander, and is responsible for overseeing the Summit County Jail. Sheriff Justin Martinez called Bates “extremely well-qualified” for the promotion and said she has been a leader in the organization for years.
“Kacey was one of the very first females to ever get hired in the Summit County Sheriff’s Office in a corrections position,” Martinez said. “She is a pioneer in this arena.”
