At his July retirement ceremony in Guatemala, Jared Johnson was celebrated not only for closing a distinguished chapter as DEA Country Attaché but also for the legacy he built through selfless service, leadership, and devotion to those around him.

“This wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a calling. At the Boathouse in Fort Lauderdale, we didn’t just induct sheriffs—we honored warriors of integrity. The Knights of MAGNUS don’t follow trends. They forge legacies. And on this unforgettable night, they reminded us all: true leadership isn’t worn, it’s lived.”

“Some moments happen in the spotlight, and others unfold quietly—but both leave a mark. After the Blue Knight Gala, I was deeply honored to be privately inducted as a Knight of MAGNUS by Retired Chief Sam Spiegel and the National Command & Staff College. As a wife and mother of law enforcement, this recognition touched my heart in ways words can’t fully capture. First responders have always held a sacred place in my life, and this moment reminded me that standing beside them—with strength, grace, and purpose—is its own form of service.”

True leadership is not about titles—it’s about influence, integrity, and the legacy you leave behind. At the Western States Sheriffs' Association Conference, Sheriff Mark Dannels of Cochise County, Arizona, was officially knighted as a Knight of MAGNUS—joining an elite circle of law enforcement leaders committed to excellence, resilience, and service. This honor isn’t just a recognition; it’s a call to inspire, mentor, and elevate the future of public safety. Read more about this distinguished moment and the impact of the MAGNUS mindset.
