The Donnelly Rotary Club heard from Sheriff Kevin Copperi, an amazing, eye-opening talk. Copperi is from Caldwell, moved to Valley County in 2007, and has been a member of our community ever since! He has risen in the ranks from deputy to sergeant to lieutenant and was appointed sheriff in July 2023. In Valley County, so far in 2023, there have been 172 DUI arrests, 300 collisions, four fatalities, seven airplane accidents and nine sex offenses. Calls coming into VC dispatch doubled from ‘21 to ‘22 and we are on a trajectory to double that number AGAIN in ‘23!Photo shows Sheriff Kevin Copperi (left), Allison Hatzenbuhler (president of Rotary), Scott King (president-elect of Rotary).
