Angi Boyer is an active member of the Columbus community and a longtime BCSC educator. She began her teaching career at Northside Middle School in 2002 and currently teaches math in the Alternative Education High School Program at McDowell Education Center.
More importantly, Angi is a proud mom and mom-in-law to Austin and Hannah Boyer. In the spring, she is so excited to be adding the title “Grandma” to her resume too!
Supporting the Family Services Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAP) is a mission that Angi is passionate about. When asked about her ‘why’ for joining CAP, Angi says, “sadly, I have seen the struggles of children fighting to overcome the trauma from abuse and this is a small way that I can help. The kids in our community deserve to grow up in homes where all of their needs are met, giving them the opportunity to thrive. Everyone benefits when children have safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments.
As Johnson County began to grow rapidly in the late 80’s and early 90’s, I was hired as a Corrections Officer for the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office. There were five (5) civilians hired to start this program which allowed Merit Deputies to work the road in the unincorporated areas of the county instead of covering the duties required in the jail. I worked diligently to learn my assigned job. Soon I was moved from the jail to the county courthouse. It was there that I provided security to the Johnson County Courts and Offices. During this time I also worked a Reserve Officer for the Sheriff’s Office. As I volunteered my time to work the road, I was able to learn the workings from another viewpoint at the Sheriff’s Office.
When I moved to the City of Greenwood, I left the White River Fire Department to become a member of the Greenwood Fire Department. During my years of service with the Greenwood Fire Department, I became an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). I continued to work for the Greenwood Fire Department for several years. In 1992, I was hired as a Merit Deputy by Sheriff Doran Miller. This was a goal that I achieved through hard work and dedication. I attended the Indiana law Enforcement Academy in 1992, graduating in class 92-109.
I held a part-time position as Chief of Police for the City of Southport, leaving in 2008. This position allowed me the opportunity to attend Chief’s School through the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. This training taught me the skills I needed to run the department. As Police Chief, I managed the department’s budget, manpower, payroll, and officers.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has been the culmination of a very rewarding career. It has allowed me countless opportunities to serve the residents of Johnson County by working in many different areas of the agency. During my time with the Sheriff’s Office, I have served in the following roles:
· Road Enforcement: Patrol and enforcement duties, including being a Motorcycle Officer.
· D.A.R.E Officer: (Drug Abuse Resistance and Education): Working with the school-aged residents of the county.
· Investigations: Investigating property crimes, child abuse, sex crimes and narcotics. I was also assigned to the Safe Streets Task Force with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
· Patrol Supervisor: After twelve (12) years of unblemished service I returned to the Enforcement Division as a Sergeant.
· Explorer Program Post Advisor: Sheriff Terry McLaughlin requested that I take over the Explorer Program as the Post Advisor, which I gladly accepted and was proud to guide the youth in the program.
· Command Staff: In 2011, Sheriff Doug Cox promoted me to the rank of Major, as the Commander of the Jail Division. I am currently in that position, supervising fifty (50) Corrections Officer, Civil Process, Sheriff Sales and still mentoring the Explorers of Post 841.
· Graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigations National Academy: Graduated from the FBINA class 266, attended the Academy from October 3rd to December 16th, 2016.
I have been an avid member of the Indiana Sheriff’s Association for several years and participating with the Indiana Sheriff’s Association youth Leadership Camp for the past twenty five (25) years. I will continue to be a part of the program for years to come. I also attended the Indiana Sheriff’s Association “Sheriff’s School” in 2010 and 2018.
In addition, I have dedicated myself to numerous organizations within the community. My organizational memberships include: Master Mason – Union Village Lodge #545, Murat Shrine – Indianapolis, Johnson County Shrine Club (Past President 2012), Johnson County Mini Mystics, Murat Shrine Fireman’s Club, Murat Shrine Police Club, and Fraternal Order of Police – Johnson County Lodge #154.
Throughout my years in the local public safety community, I have built strong relationships with the other agencies and offices in Johnson County’s towns, cities, schools, and fire departments. I am proud to say that we have the hardest working, most dedicated public safety officials in the state and I will continue to build those relationships.
As you can see, my heart lies with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and the people of Johnson County. It is my desire to continue guiding the Sheriff’s Office in the right direction as your Johnson County Sheriff. I will continue to lead the best Law Enforcement Officers in the State of Indiana in serving the citizens we are sworn to protect. It is my promise that all members of the Sheriff’s Office will work tirelessly to ensure that Johnson County continues to be the best county in which to live, work, and raise our children.

We are terrible empty nesters so we also have 3 dogs. We have called Columbus home for almost 5 years and absolutely love it. We love the small town feel and have always felt welcome here.

She works for digitalAIM Media as a digital marketing expert but her real passion is giving back.

When she takes a day off its normally working with her Cricut while the Buckeyes are playing football or she's off traveling to new adventures.

Hi, I'm Catie Rix! I am a Columbus, Indiana native with a serious case of wanderlust. Though I’ve traveled (and lived) all over the world, I’ve come to find there’s no place quite like home. I am a new homeowner with my boyfriend Kaushik and we absolutely love being a part of the downtown Columbus community! Professionally, I am the Events & Marketing Director for The Savory Swine as well as a natural light photographer specializing in documentary-style family portraiture. When I’m not planning events or behind the camera, you may find me cooking, reading or planning my next trip! I am honored to be a part of the 2022 CAP Prom Court because I feel passionately about giving back to the community that raised me and ensuring all children grow up in safe and supportive homes.

Amy Skirvin and her husband Steve are raising there 3 kids in downtown Franklin where she is the owner of the Sweat Shop, a fitness studio serving over 1000 members live and online. She is also a Life Coach and Motivational Speaker focused on helping women experience self love and body positivity! Amy has had women share experiences of sexual abuse they suffered as girls with her. If they had this program as girls maybe it could have been prevented or reported and these women could have been spared the pain they still suffer today.
I have worked in healthcare for the last 20 years, serving Columbus and the surrounding areas, providing home medical equipment and other services to those in need.
