Honoring Kenny Olander
Today, at approximately 1 a.m., the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) lost one of its own when Deputy 1st Class (DFC) Kenny Olander lost his battle from complications of a recent illness.
“It is with profound sadness that I have to share this bad news with our Frederick County family,” said FCSO Sheriff Chuck Jenkins. “We have lost one of our own brothers as Kenny passed away peacefully this morning with his family by his side. Kenny has had a distinguished career with our agency and was a very dedicated professional who proudly wore our badge.”
DFC Kenny Olander, age 61, of Frederick, is a 32-year veteran of the FCSO. Deputy Olander joined the agency on July 30, 1990, and served in numerous capacities to include patrol operations deputy, the traffic unit, school resource officer, and most recently as the community deputy for Myersville, Maryland. He was long-time, certified Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) within the state and served as the lead DRE representative for the agency.
DFC Olander is survived by his wife Samantha, and three children, Bailey, Hugh, and Sophia.
The FCSO asks that you please respect the privacy of the Olander family during this difficult time.
The FOP is asking for donations that will support the Olander family during this time. Donations can be made here:
