Deputies to help in inauguration

The deputies will join nearly 4,000 officers from agencies across the nation to take part in the 56th presidential inauguration, Jan. 20. Some 2 million to 4million people are expected to descend on Washington, D.C., to attend the historic inauguration of America's first African-American president.
