The Sheriff's Office should not be a political battlefield.
Public safety is not exclusive to those in the community; it must also extend to those in custody. Proper treatment preserves public trust.
We cannot politic or arrest our way to safety, but it is only achieved through proactive partnerships with businesses, nonprofit and community organizations across our county.
Servant leadership is not just a slogan for Terrence; it is a way of life.
