If elected Sheriff, my focus will be on strengthening professionalism, training, and community trust. I plan to pursue leadership and management programs to ensure the Sheriff’s Office is run efficiently, ethically, and transparently.
I will prioritize ongoing training for deputies, including de-escalation, legal updates, and officer safety through Kentucky’s Department of Criminal Justice Training. I also support Crisis Intervention Training so deputies are better equipped to handle mental health calls with care and professionalism.
Community policing will be a priority. Building relationships with citizens, schools, and local organizations is essential for effective law enforcement. I will also work closely with neighboring agencies and emergency services to improve coordination and access to resources.
Finally, I will seek out state and federal grants to fund training, equipment, and technology, bringing resources into McCreary County without placing added burden on taxpayers.
My goal is simple: to lead the Sheriff’s Office with integrity, commitment, and professionalism, and to serve the people of McCreary County with fairness and respect.
