All of this simply means - COMMUNITY POLICING
My reasons for running for Sheriff of Lincoln County is to make our entire county a safe place to live and to hold those accountable for their actions.
How? I want to focus on making the community a safe environment by serving and protecting all the people through policing and community engagement, fighting crime, communicating with the local clergy to help curve and reduce crime while supporting local law enforcement “Faith and Blue”. I will work on all aspects of community involvement to prevent anarchy and promote peace and unity in the community. Address mental health issues that also contribute to criminal behavior, implement programs in communities with faith and blue between churches and law enforcement working harmoniously together to combat crime while protecting peace and unity in the community.
