Experience as I am already serving in the role as Bernalillo County Sheriff. Leadership, organization, and representing constituents as a whole as shown by example is one example. Representation, inclusion, and following through with action proves not shows why I qualify.
Through continued collaboration, research, and proven results. Policy, budget, discussion, and follow through are necessary to succeed as Bernalillo County Sheriff.
Continuation of goals and initiatives. Technology, trust, engaged community policing have proven results and will continue our success.
We are already doing it and leading the region in this area to included having all deputies continue with advanced training in the area of behavioral health. Training is continuous and must evolve as we adjust to a changing environment in law enforcement. Since taking office deadly force encounters have decreased and this shows proof of the training we implement.
