SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — On September 28, 2023, Cochise County Sheriff Deputy Chris Oletski was in an accident that nearly took his life while in the line of duty.
"If I see a car going triple digit speeds and driving recklessly...I'm going to do what I can to protect our citizens here within Cochise County," Oletski said. He spent a total of four weeks in Tucson before returning to Sierra Vista to continue his physical therapy and recovery. “I knew I wasn’t going to fail because that was my mindset and that’s what I lived my entire life," Oletski said."My mind set is what drove me to come back.”
Oletski says he wanted to wear his badge again to continue to protect the people of Cochise County from the cartels and their plans for smuggling drugs and people into the area.
