She leads by example, dedicating herself fully to her job and admirably, to protecting the most vulnerable, including child victims. She is a respected mentor to her colleagues and a leader in every regard. We are grateful and proud to have Undersheriff Ryndock’s leadership in Wayne County and I am honored to recognize her as the 2023 Woman of Distinction for the 54th Senate District.”
Wayne County Sheriff Rob Milby said, “I have worked alongside Tammy Ryndock for most of her career and can tell you that she is an exemplary Law Enforcement Official. You will be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated, driven, or capable human being. Undersheriff Ryndock puts her all into everything she does, which ensures her success. She is an inspiration to everyone in the public safety profession. She always has, and always will, lead the charge to champion our victims. I am elated to see her recognized as a 2023 Woman of Distinction.”
