I hope this article finds you and your loved ones in good health and spirits. Today, I write to you as your Sheriff, not just to provide an update but also to reinforce our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our community, even in the midst of the political challenges that we face not only locally, but as a nation.

As we navigate through challenging times, it is essential for me to address the concerns that may arise due to the current political climate. I understand that uncertainty can breed fear and doubt, but I want to reassure you that the Office of the Sheriff remains steadfast in its duty to protect and serve you, our valued community members.

It is no secret that political divisions can create an atmosphere of apprehension, where trust in institutions may waver. However, please know that our commitment to upholding the law and safeguarding our community is unwavering, unaffected by the ever-changing tides of politics. Our duty and responsibility is rooted in the belief that everyone, irrespective of race, creed, gender, or political affiliation, deserves equal protection and justice under the law 

Regardless of the changing times, our deputies and staff members are dedicated professionals who prioritize your safety above all else. They have sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this State. This oath remains the guiding principle of our actions, providing a consistent framework within which we operate. Our office operates with transparency, accountability, and integrity, ensuring that every decision and action is in the best interest of our community.

The political landscape at every level of government is like ocean waves, sometimes rolling gently ashore, sometimes crashing upon the rocks, but always moving. Every political decision that is made will have those who agree and those who disagree. I urge you to rise above divisive rhetoric and come together as one community. We must embrace the values that unite us, focusing on the common ground that makes our community strong.

Moreover, I encourage open and constructive dialogue between our office and the community we serve. If you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your input and believe in fostering a sense of partnership between law enforcement and the community. Together, we can navigate through challenging times and emerge stronger than ever. 

Remain encouraged. One of my favorite bible verses is Romans 15:1-5, which states, “But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, ‘The insults of those who insult you have fallen on Me.’ For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope. Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another in accordance with Christ Jesus.” 

In closing, let us remember that our community is defined by the compassion, resilience, and unity of its people. At all times, let us stand together, supporting and uplifting one another. The Office of the Sheriff is here for you.

Thank you for your trust and ongoing support.
