| I plan to seek
re-election to the office of Sheriff of Hoke County in 2010.
I am a life
long resident of Hoke County and I feel that I have the energy
that Hoke County needs to make the Hoke County Sheriff's Office
one of the most productive Sheriff's Departments in the state
of North Carolina.
I am committed
to continue serving the people and if I am re-elected, I pledge
to do everything within
my power to serve the Hoke County community well and represent
all people of all affiliations.
I continue
to be a Sheriff that is approachable, someone people will feel
confident
and comfortable talking with, and I will strive to improve
the
quality of life in Hoke County.
I feel that
having a Sheriff who is a law enforcement officer himself, will
help to identify with the concerns and problems officers may face.
It makes a difference when you have done it yourself.
As a certified
Sheriff, a Law Enforcement Officer, there won't be a job that
my deputies will do that I cannot pitch in to do by their side.
I will continue
to work assertively to address the community's underlying conditions
that lead to crime and disorder.Under my leadership, I feel
that the Hoke County Sheriff's Office has improved by establishing
integrity, professionalism, improving standards and enforcing
the laws
of North Carolina.
I also see
a need to organize more Victims and Youth Assistance Programs,
and as I take on the office of Sheriff, I truly understand that
being Sheriff is not about me, but about YOU, and I mean ALL OF
YOU.
In order for
the Hoke County Sheriff's Office to succeed, I need your unconditional
support and once in office, I ask you, the citizens of Hoke County,
if we are to be judged, judge us not by what you hear, or by
what you read, but by what we do for the good of Hoke County.
