WHITLEY COUNTY — Ed Beber is not your average probation officer.
After serving eight years with the Whitley County Probation Office, Beber was named the top probation officer in the state at last week’s conference of the Probation Officers Professional Association of Indiana in French Lick.
Beber was nomiated by Chief Probation Officer Amy Motter, and several letters of reccomendation were submitted by local officials, such as Circuit Court Judge James Heuer, Prosecutor Matt Rentschler, Deputy Prosecutor D.J. Sigler, and staff of Whitley County Corrections.
Motter said Beber is very deserving of the award, and in her letter, especially commended him for the care he takes for each person he works with.
