An internal complaint filed against a Putnam County Sheriff’s Office jail director led to an internal investigation.
–
Major Scott Surrency was placed on administrative leave as the investigation continues, according to PCSO Sheriff H.D. DeLoach.Surrency will remain on leave pending the investigation’s results and an operational audit of the jail that the sheriff said he ordered.The specifics of the complaint are unknown at this time.
I want everyone to understand that Major Surrency carries a presumption of innocence with him during this inquiry. I have many unanswered questions, but I ask for everyone’s understanding as I patiently await the results of the audit. Please remember that open discussion of internal affairs investigations prior to their close is prohibited by Florida Statute 112.533 and agency policy. Confidentiality is essential to preserving the integrity of all internal investigations. Even casual conversations or speculation about pending internal cases can cause the rampant spread of misinformation and can compromise investigations and damage individuals unintentionally.
