Borders agreement strengthens cross county Sheriff's work
Borders. Continued from A-1 Borders. a house where the front porch is in Tazewell and the other half of the house is in Russell. Since the deputies have already been sworn in to their respective departments, they will not have to be sworn in again in the bordering county. We have a very good work relationship with the Russell County Sheriff's Office and I believe this will help us work even better together. It's a wonderful agreement.
