VISION
As your Sheriff, I will operate a fiscally responsible office in order to be a good steward of the people’s money while preserving our quality of life here in Washington County. The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer for the County which means that the Sheriff is the first line of defense to protect your rights, your property, and your life. My vision is simple, and that vision is to "Keep Washington County Safe”. How we do that is multi-faceted, but it starts with leadership and it ends with leadership. I plan to roll out a Sheriff's Office Strategic Plan for Washington County that includes:
