KENDALL COUNTY, IL — Deputy Tyler Giannotti was selected as the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office Employee of the Year for 2022. He was nominated by a supervisor of the Patrol Division for his exemplary performance throughout the year.

Deputy Giannotti has been a Patrol Deputy with the Sheriff’s Office since February 2021. Prior to joining the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Giannotti was a dispatcher with the KenCom Public Safety Dispatch Center. Since joining the Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Giannotti has provided exemplary service to the Sheriff’s Office and our community. He is highly motivated and is constantly involved in calls for service. During the year, Deputy Giannotti made thirty-six (36) DUI arrests. Deputy Giannotti, along with two other Patrol Deputies, was involved in rescuing two citizens and a dog from a residential structure fire which was featured on the television show “Body Cam.” In this incident, Deputy Giannotti disregarded his own well-being while trying to save the lives of others. Deputy Giannotti has been a positive influence on our new Patrol Deputies and goes out of his way to teach them the skills necessary to be successful police officers. He represents the Sheriff’s Office in a professional manner and has proven to be a great benefit to our agency and our County.
