A sheriff's duties are pretty broad and vital for a county.
Enforce state and local laws, investigate crimes, make arrests, respond to emergencies, and handle traffic enforcement.
Effective leadership is about more than just giving orders, it's about inspiring and empowering the dedicated men and women of the department. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of leading teams, mentoring new officers, and developing strategies to tackle complex challenges. I understand how to manage resources effectively, make tough decisions under pressure, and foster a culture of excellence and accountability. As Sheriff, I will bring this experience to the forefront, ensuring our department is not only responsive to today
