Constitutional Law Education
Ensure all sheriff's office personnel have knowledge of United States and Maryland constitutional laws so they understand what their oath means.
“"First thing I would do is make sure that everyone within the sheriff's office has a general knowledge of the United States and Maryland's constitutional laws. Why? Through my dealings with the State of MD and people who work for it, there is little to no understanding of said constitution. I believe in order to effectively work in law enforcement you need to understand what you gave an oath to, that it should mean something."”
Physical Fitness Program
Implement a physical fitness program for deputies to ensure they remain healthy and can serve the community effectively.
“"Also, instilling a physical fitness program to ensure our deputies are healthy so they can serve the community effectively and that if anything like Covid comes up, it will not be an issue as we will be a healthy department."”
