I have had the privilege to serve the residents of Baldwin County as a law enforcement officer for more than 18 years, with nearly 16 of those years in the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office is the first line of defense against criminals who want to hurt our families and our children and take our property. That's why the sheriff needs to be a cop first and foremost. Once he has
been elected, a sheriff shouldn’t be politicking – he should be out there fighting crime. I know what it’s like to professionally pursue the duties of a law enforcement officer. I also know what it is like to see politics to stand in the way of what is best for the county. That’s why I am running for sheriff in 2014. The people of Baldwin County deserve a sheriff who combines street-cop savvy with the educated leadership and command of a dedicated career law enforcement officer. Our citizens need a sheriff who has the front-line experience to competently protect and serve the people of Baldwin County. The sheriff must stay focused on the job and not political aspirations. If the good people of Baldwin County honor me by electing me sheriff, I will:
Work diligently to improve the function of the Sheriff's Office
Use professional law enforcement tactics that will give our citizens proven results and make our families safer
Protect the interests of the citizens and never let ambition get in front of integrity
Work with other county offices to better the Sheriff's Office but, at the same time , will not be beholden to any other political office holder
I am running because I want to protect and serve the people of Baldwin and instill confidence and security in the Sheriff’s Office. I look forward to the opportunity to serve as your sheriff and I humbly ask for your vote in the upcoming election June 3, 2014.
