After the swearing-in ceremony at the Hall County Courthouse, Gainesville Police Chief Frank Hooper presented Sheriff Cronic with a National Accreditation Pin.
Chief Hooper also praised him for his "vision and hard work" in obtaining State Certification for the sheriff's department and a recently completed application and on-site evaluation for national accreditation.
Cronic was elected without opposition last month.
