Campaign themes
2017
In a press release announcing his candidacy, Macy said:
| “ | The number one constitutional duty of any sheriff is the operation of the jail. Evaluating the efficacy of all policies and procedures in the jail and how those affect its operation will be my immediate focus if I am elected...
I believe it is incumbent on the sheriff to see that law enforcement services are provided to those who live outside of the incorporated municipalities in Oklahoma County as well as to provide support for law enforcement agencies who request assistance from the sheriff’s department... It is also critical that the sheriff is a good steward of taxpayers’ dollars and is fiscally responsible in operating the jail and the sheriff department’s functions outside the jail. It is imperative the monies budgeted are used in the most responsible manner possible to uphold the mission of the office.[3] |
