With only three hours notice, Middlesex Deputy Sheriff John Smith said he and about 20 members of the office's Special Operations Unit drove to Louisiana aboard a mobile command center to assist in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
The 26-year-old Scituate resident said his unit spent a month in the devastated state where he witnessed the awful destruction the hurricane wrought on the region.
'We went there expecting the worst,' said Smith, who has been recently promoted to Captain after a 5-1/2-year stint as deputy sheriff with the department. "
