Ken,
I feel the I am the man for the job because of my diverse experience in the Sheriff's Office. I've been a supervisor in every Division and I gained valuable budget experience during my Command of the Detention Center. My budget was $5 million annually and I was in command for two full budget cycle and the best part of a third cycle.
I've been living in St. Mary's County since 1978 and worked in the county since 1979. I was a Forest Ranger working in St. Mary's before joining the Sheriff's Office.
I know how the Sheriff's Office works, i.e. policies & procedures. I know how the county government works and I've made many valuable contacts over the years. I will not bad mouth my Democratic opponent, but I feel he would be at a disadvantage by not having the knowledge of the Sheriff's Office. It will take him at least two years to get a feel for the Office. His law enforcement experience is in Prince George's County and he has NO administrative experience.
I have been building partnerships with people in this county for many years as a Ranger and Deputy and I feel those people have a respect for my work ethics.
I know the Sheriff MUST cooperate with the Board of County Commissioners and their relationship should be one of mutual trust and respect. I believe I have the personality and ability to have that kind of relationship with any BOCC.
I plan to pursue National Accreditation which will give the Sheriff's Office a set of standards to comply with. This means a more professionalism, better service deliverability, fair promotional system and fair hiring practices to the citizens (to mention a few).
There are many things to do and I realize it is a big job that cannot be done over night. I have a passion to be the next Sheriff of St. Mary's County and you can rest assured that I will put my heart and soul into improving your Sheriff's Office.
I hope this wasn't to long winded, but sometimes there is no "25 word or less" answer.
Thanks for asking Ken,
David
