"Vince's outstanding character makes him a perfect celebrity candidate for this appointment," says Sheriff Joe Guy. "His stance on drug abuse and his charity work go hand in hand."

In fact, Vince had the honorary officer's badge presented to him during his charity concert for the Chattanooga Children's Advocacy Center.
