Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden thanked first responders from across Florida who came to help the county after Hurricane Isaias, in a video posted to social media Thursday.

“I want to take a moment to thank our first responders around the state that came and showed up in full force to help us in our hours and days of need,” Aden said.

Aden said the agencies that sent equipment and personnel helped the Sheriff’s Office continue to provide public safety during the storm and its aftermath, while employees also dealt with damage to their own property.

• “I just want to say thank you to those agencies that sent their assets and sent their personnel,” Aden said. “It was really helpful to allow us to try and continue to provide the public safety that’s needed during a time like this.”

Aden thanked the Florida Sheriffs Association, the counties that responded and fellow sheriffs, and said Okaloosa County would return the favor.

“We will certainly be there like we have in the past to deploy if you should need us in the future,” he said.
