The Carbon County employee of the month was announced on Wednesday evening by Carbon County Human Resources Director Rose Barnes. For the month of February, the honor went to Dave Brewer of the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).
Brewer was nominated by several employees and has been on the list for quite some time. Barnes personally thanked him for the work he does and stated that he has done an amazing job overseeing the animal shelter in the years that he has.
CCSO Chief Deputy Cletis Steele said that he and Sheriff Jeff Wood have spoken about traits in a supervisor, including honesty, integrity, responsibility, professionalism, loyalty and ambition, which Brewer embodies. Chief Steele remarked that he is a great team player and is always willing to learn.

Sheriff Wood echoed the sentiment, stating that it is a huge task that Brewer has taken on. He admires Brewer, who he credited as a strong man and an amazing example of law enforcement. “To say I’m proud of him is an understatement,” Sheriff Wood said.
