Deputy working to Make a Difference

There are many deputies who are working to make a difference in Oconee County, not only on the job, but when perhaps the spotlight is not on them.  One of those deputies who fit this mold is Deputy Charles Mulwee. Deputy Mulwee came to the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office from the police department of Clemson University and has five years of experience in law enforcement.  He currently works on the Delta shift road patrol unit.  When he is not working to make Oconee County a safe place for families and individuals, Deputy Mulwee is reaching out to spread the good message of law enforcement to all, especially children. On his days off, Deputy Mulwee mentors at both Northside Elementary School and Blue Ridge Elementary School for the past two years.  He enjoys spending time reading, having lunch, going on field trips, and talking with his own children about their own lives.  Many of the children that Deputy Mulwee helps to mentor come from single parent homes. “Parents that see me at the schools come up to me in the grocery stores and ask me if I can talk to their kids and mentor to them,” says Deputy Mulwee.  “I want all the kids to see that police officers are good people and not to be afraid of us.  For the kids that don’t have a father at home, I’m trying to fill that void.” Last year, Deputy Mulwee won the student affairs employee of the year while employed with Clemson University, which came with a bonus check.  Deputy Mulwee took some of the money and bought two of the kids he mentors Christmas gifts.  He is also an award winning police officer as well.
