Across our nation, law enforcement has experienced many changes over the years in the way it engages the ever-evolving criminal element. The mission requires leadership with a proven track record of creative strategies that are keenly focused and results oriented. It calls for "unconventional" problem solving that combines the efforts of law enforcement with the community it serves. The underlying goal must always be to protect our citizens' safety.
We are facing some of the most difficult economic times that many of us have seen in our lifetime. With an ever tightening budget, my goal will be to provide the citizens with a Sheriff's Office that blends efficiency with effectiveness. It will be incumbent upon me to seek out ways to maximize the delivery of the agency's services in ways that do not adversely impact the budget.
