Ron Kesner

Get to know Orange County staff... The Personnel File:

Deputy & Triad Coordinator

Deputy Ron Kesner currently serves as the Triad Coordinator for the Orange County Sheriff ’ s Office. He has an impressive background, having continuously served in law enforcement for 43 years! His prior roles have included the Albemarle County Police Department ’ s Bicycle patrol and the Marine Patrol for Louisa County, among others. When asked what he likes most about police work, Ron said he appreciates that law enforcement allows both “ routine and not routine ” activities everyday.

Juanesta Williams

Support Technician

His amazing record only makes it more meaningful when he says that serving in his current role has brought him “ the most joy and satisfaction. ” For those unfamiliar, Triad is an initiative of the Sheriff ’ s Office that aims to proactively support our seniors and help prevent their becoming victims of crime. It ’ s programs include the File of Life, Project Lifesaver, Guardian Alert, and many more. In addition to Deputy Kesner, the initiative is supported by a great team of 22 volunteers, community organizations, and fellow staff. Ron took the role in 2019, and has been amazed and moved by what the Triad program can do for a community. Deputy Kesner is an instrumented - rated private pilot, and enjoys flying his Piper PA - 32 during his free time. He has even applied this interest to the Project Lifesaver program, by flying his aircraft with a receiver during simulated searches for missing persons. He also enjoys fishing, playing tennis, and bicycling. If he could have any superpower, he said he ’ d like to be “ impervious to injury, ” after all, he can already fly, and being able to avoid getting hurt would let him play more tennis! Thanks, Deputy Kesner!
