There is a new deputy in town. Adding to the Alpena County Sheriff’s Office.

Earlier this week, Christina Bednasrski took an oath of office, filling a much-needed position at the jail. She graduated from the police academy last month, accomplishing a goal that she’s had all her life. Bednarski started her career in 2012, serving as an army reservist.

“I always wanted to serve my country and do the right thing, and felt like it was time for me to step up a little,” said Deputy Bednarski.

She then felt the need to serve her community, working as a corrections officer for the jail, and now a Deputy.

“I do it on the national level with the army and then to be able to be at home making sure that my family my friends and the community in general is safe is a great feeling,” said Deputy Bednarski.

With this new position Bednarski is looking forward to being more involved in the community and juvenile system, helping victims of crime, and helping rid the negative stigma of law enforcement.

“I just want to be a part of helping the community grow and making it safer,” said Deputy Bednarski.
