QUALIFICATIONS: What experience do you have that best prepares you to serve as Sheriff?
I have 30+ years as a sworn deputy at the Allegany County Sheriff's Office. I have been in Administration and Supervision for over 15 years. I currently hold the rank of Major.
CHALLENGES: What is the biggest challenge you expect to face as Sheriff, and how will you address it?
The biggest challenge I will face will be manpower issues and retaining quality trained staff. I will address the challenges by seeking grants and other funding sources.
OUTREACH: What steps will you take to ensure that the Sheriff's Office has a positive relationship with the community?
I think that we already have a positive relationship with Allegany County citizens. For example, Shop with a Cop and National Night Out. However, I would increase more of a patrol presence in the towns of Allegany County to continue to build this positive relationship.
PUBLIC SAFETY: What will be your three top priorities for improving and maintaining public safety?
*Enforce drug crime and enhance treatment and education at the detention center.
*Create more collaboration and combined enforcement efforts with outside partners.
*Be fiscally responsible and professional earning community trust like I have for the last 30+ years as a deputy with Allegany County Sheriff's Office.
