Honesty, Integrity, and Communication, and Accountability.
To ensure that all citizens of Whitfield County feel a sense of protection and are comfortable reaching out to the Sheriff's Office. Ensuring the safety of all that live in Whitfield County.
You have to be transparent with the citizens of the county about what is going on inside the walls of the jail, and what is going on in the county. People need to know when there is "criminal activity" happening in their areas or neighborhoods. They need to know when we are looking for someone that committed a crime, what that crime was, and what area they could be.
I will be a Constitutional Sheriff, ensuring those rights of citizens are protected.
I have integrity, and a go getter mind set. I have 18 years experience in the field. I believe that's what will take me to the finish line.
