 Deputy Sheriff Sergeant Kevin Duprey is the 2011 Dare County Employee of the Year. Skeeter Sawyer, EMS Director and 2010 Employee of the Year, presented Duprey with his award at the January 3, 2012 Board of Commissioners meeting.
Sergeant Duprey is the Sergeant in charge of the Narcotics Division of the Sheriff’s Office, and has been with the department for 16 years. He has been working in the Narcotics division for 12 years. As Sergeant in charge of the division, he supervises four narcotics investigators. In addition, his department has expanded to include two officers on temporary assignment from the Nags Head Police Department and the Kill Devil Hills Police Department.
The Narcotics Division combats illegal drugs county-wide and has had several high profile drug enforcement operations over the past year. Those operations have resulted in multiple arrests and the removal of large quantities of drugs from the community.
Duprey is a member of the Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team (SERT). SERT is a unit trained to operate in high risk situations. He is also responsible for the Sheriff Office’s firearms training and other officer safety programs.
“It’s a thankless job,” commented Sheriff Doug Doughtie of Duprey’s work while presenting Duprey with the Employee of the Month award in May. “It never ends. When he goes home, his phone continues to ring, and if he doesn’t answer it, someone gets in trouble somewhere.”
Duprey is a devoted family man. He lives in Manteo with his wife Millicent and his children Hunter and Meris. He is a member of Mount Olivet United Methodist Church and is involved in the Cub Scout Webelos.
“It is an honor to be selected from among that group.” Duprey said of receiving the award. “When you look at the whole county, there are a lot of deserving folks.”
Congratulations to Sergeant Kevin Duprey for being named 2011 Dare County Employee of the Year.
