Criminal Justice / Public Safety As your sheriff, I will work with the County Commission to ensure that every shift includes at least one EMT-certified deputy, someone ready to stabilize and provide lifesaving care until paramedics arrive. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As your sheriff, I will work with local organizations to recruit talented individuals transitioning from military service, those starting their law enforcement careers, and experienced officers seeking a supportive agency and community. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Our deputies are a critical part of keeping Autauga County safe. They deserve the training, tools, and support needed to do their jobs effectively and confidently. By prioritizing continued education and preparing deputies to respond to medical emergencies, we strengthen public safety and improve outcomes for the people they serve. Supporting our deputies means giving them what they need to protect and care for our community at the highest level. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As your sheriff, I will make it a priority to ensure our deputies receive ongoing, advanced training every year. Not just to meet minimum standards, but to exceed them.
