Corporal Amber Frantz #0433

Summary

Having served almost 18 years with the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, I have dedicated myself to advancing the mission and goals of the FCSO. During this time, I have strived to learn as much as possible in all of my various assignments, to gain a better understanding of the daily and overall operations, and committed to the policy and procedure of each role.


I have always had a desire to honorably represent the agency and enhance its public perception. I do this through the Honor Guard and the Cadet Program. Through these roles, my goal has been to positively impact and uphold the values of our organization, while preparing the next generation of potential deputies and FCSO employees.
