Statement from Walter Woods
It has been a great honor to serve the citizens of Wabash County as a Reserve Deputy Sheriff since 2002, as well as a Noble Township Volunteer Fireman, First Responder and an EMT. I have gained valuable experience and knowledge over the past 12 years. I have long believed that good judgement comes from experience. Since taking an oath in 2002, I have many miles on the r
oads protecting and serving our county and its residents. I have worked in nearly every neighborhood and spoken with thousands of Wabash County residents. Because of my responsibilities and duties as Owner of Tri – W and on the Sheriff’s Department, I am familiar with the entire county. I will continue to work hard to maintain my commitment to honesty and fairness. Wabash County deserves a Sheriff with the wisdom and experience to properly and efficiently administer the duties of Sheriff. I will be that Sheriff! My decision to campaign for Wabash County Sheriff comes from a strong desire to serve and help people. Under my management as Sheriff of Wabash County, we will have a professional and dedicated law enforcement presence that serves and protects all of the residents. I have the ethics, moral and good judgement as well as a desire to help our community. We need a Sheriff’s department that puts citizens first! Law enforcement officers must work WITH and FOR the community. We must have an open dialogue about our problems and proposed solutions that involve help from BOTH sides. Citizens can help by providing information to law enforcement, and law enforcement will go the extra mile to be involved in their community. In 2017, our world is full of uncertainly and crime – the local, regional, state and national issues has presented our community with many challenges. We must all face these challenges together for the future protection of our children and grand children. As a father, husband, & Grandfather, I understand the impact crime has on our families and our community and that is why I am running to be your next Sheriff of Wabash County!
