After nearly 30 years of service within the Calvert County Sheriffโ€™s Office, Julia S. Goins is retiring Dec. 31. During their Dec. 20 meeting, the Calvert County Sheriffโ€™s Office, along with officials from the sheriffโ€™s office, saluted Goins for her work.

Goins began her career in 1982, which was before the sheriffโ€™s office became Calvertโ€™s primary law enforcement agency. She started as a clerk typist, working for the Calvert County Detention Center. Goins was promoted to secretary for the sheriffโ€™s office in 1984. She subsequently held several other positions within the agencyโ€”criminal process technician, administrative secretary and administrative aide. Goins was promoted to her current position of executive administrative aide in 2002.

During her career Goins had five different bosses. Calvertโ€™s current sheriff praised her work ethic and honesty. โ€œShe is so efficient,โ€ said Sheriff Mike Evans [R]. โ€œShe would be quick to say youโ€™ve done something wrong.โ€

โ€œSheโ€™s an absolute wealth of knowledge,โ€ said Assistant Sheriff Col. Tom Hejl, who added Goins helped both Evans and himself with the โ€œlearning curveโ€ after Evans was elected sheriff in 2002.

โ€œShe very quietly does her job competently,โ€ said Commissioner Susan Shaw [R].
