If elected
Sheriff,
I will
implement the following
strategic goals:
1. Redesign patrol zones to correspond with the level
of criminal activity in the respective areas.
2. Create a citizens review board consisting off all
groups of people to a limit of six. This review board shall
understand our function as law enforcement officers, make
recommendations on issues regarding the quality of services given
and to evaluate our progress. The board will also assist in
recognizing and rewarding officers for meritorious behavior.
3. Increase accountability and efficiency of services
through building partnerships, in-depth planning, and measurable
performance standards.
4. Reduce the fear of crime by having a stronger police
presence at no extra cost in staffing simply by refining agency
personnel.
5. Make effective use of personnnel, equipment, and
technology to meet and exceed community expectations.
6. Provide a work environment free of fear from any type
of discrimination including, but not limited to racial and sexual
harassment as well as educate supervisors in effective
communication skills. Effective communication produces greater
work productivity.
7. Provide a work environment which attracts and retains a
diverse group of dedicated officers, rewards good work practices,
and promotes a career ladder for officers who show accountability
and leadership skills.
8. Create promotional assessments which will allow for
fair and equal promotion of qualified candidates.
9. Work with all of our dedicated emergency personnel to
enhance the Federally mandated National Incident Management System (NIMS).
We must realize not if, but when a disaster, man-made or other shall
occur, we must be prepared.
10. Publish monthly Sheriff's reports regarding employee
rewards, accomplishments, and concerns which we all need to know
about.
11. Create an Internal Affairs Team to evaluate and
monitor any misconduct by any employee of this office. We will
be accountable for our actions.
12. Utilize drug forfeiture monies which are already in
hand at an amount of over one million dollars to purchase much
needed items. The money is just sitting there, so I believe we
should utilize the drug dealers' money before asking we, the
shareholders, to foot the bill by raising taxes.
