The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from an investigator with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, at their weekly meeting on Tuesday at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  

Amy Cole was the program speaker, telling Kiwanis members she started her law enforcement career in Effingham as a dispatcher.   Cole added her first job as an officer was in Tuscola, and more recently she’s spent the last 4 years with the Christian County Sheriff’s Office.  

Cole said she initially worked at the local Sheriff’s Office on the midnight shift as an officer, but now works as an investigator on major cases including burglary, fraud, sexual assault, and death.   She’s also the evidence technician for the Sheriff’s Office.

Cole also oversees sex offender compliance, handles the Sheriff’s Office social media, and teaches DARE classes in the county.   She added she enjoys working with children in the DARE program as well as assisting those who are in trouble.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
