Sheriff’s Office is Guided by the Five “C”s… Including Christ

The Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office in Waverly, Tennessee has an unusual logo, which it uses on both its official website and as the profile picture for the department on Facebook:

Nice words there: Commitment, Compassion, Courage, Communication… and Christ?

Do they only protect you if you’re a Christian? Is Jesus the Sheriff? Does Christ answer the phone if there’s an emergency? There’s just no reason to include a religious word on the official logo.

Maybe they couldn’t think of another C-word. I’ll fix that: How about Character or Competence? (Though neither word seems especially apt right now.)

I sent an email to the department asking what they plan to do. I’ll post a response once I receive it and pass this along to the Freedom From Religion Foundation if they don’t write back.
