Retiring county officers receive special awards

Two sheriff’s officers received special recognition at a ceremony in Rock Springs on December 28th. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that Major Dennis Claman was presented with the Sheriff’s Office Distinguished Service Medal and Undersheriff Craig Jackson with the Meritorious Service Medal by Sweetwater County Sheriff Rich Haskell. Both men retired at the end of December.






Claman joined the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office in 1991, where he served first as a detective, followed by a promotion to detective Sergeant. He was promoted again to the rank of major, in command of the Operations Division, in 2007. In addition, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Wyoming Army National Guard.






He also served for six years with the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office in Cheyenne, where he earned an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice at Laramie County Community College. He joined the Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office in 1992. In his 20 years with the Sheriff’s Office, C.J. was a patrol deputy sheriff, a drug task force special agent, a detective, and, from 2007 through 2012, served as Undersheriff of Sweetwater County.
