My Top Issues
Improved community and business partnerships
I believe that the office of sheriff is the most important branch of law enforcement as the people elect their sheriff and he or she is directly responsible to the people.
Enhancing community policing efforts and fostering cooperation between law enforcement and residents
I believe that the office of sheriff is the most important branch of law enforcement. The sheriff is directly responsible to the people who elected him or her.
Enhancing community policing
More law enforcement in the community equates to less crime. If the community sees law enforcement on a daily basis out in the community helping them and trying to make their lives better, it fosters trust.
