Thanks for your vote and thanks for re-electing me for a second term as your Logan County Sheriff. For those who helped campaign, I appreciate you so much and I look forward to four more years of the best job I have ever had!! When I ran for re-election in the 2022 primary election (I have no opponent in the general election in November 2022), I campaigned on the following:
I am very excited to s
hare with you what my team and I have been doing at the Logan County Sheriff’s Office in keeping Logan County moving forward by making it a safer place to live and raise a family:
We drastically increased sex offender compliance checks leading to noncompliance arrests and almost 50% fewer sex offenders living in Logan County. When I started as Sheriff, there were over 95 sex offenders out in the county and now there are around 50. We have extensive cooperation with the Booneville and Paris Police Departments, Probation & Parole, and state law enforcement agencies leading to the arrest of drug dealers and a record meth bust of over three pounds. Our arrests include the biggest drug dealer in Northern Logan County due to a joint investigation between the Sheriff’s Office, Paris Police Department, and federal law enforcement agencies. And, in joint investigations between the Sheriff’s Office, the Booneville Police Department, and the 15th Judicial District Task Force, we arrested drug dealers in Southern Logan County and made the three-pound meth bust listed above. We are always sharing information with our local police departments, state police and other state agencies, and with the Drug Task Force. Our narcotics investigator conducts monthly meetings with all of the agencies and visits with them daily. We set up joint, targeted patrol saturations, cooperate on search warrants, and are constantly working with the police departments and Probation & Parole to conduct home visits on people who are on parole and probation. We added recovery and GED programs for the inmates. We also created a volunteer Senior Chaplain position who organizes volunteer chaplains who visit our inmates and conduct programs for them. We assign patrol deputies to the Northern and Southern Districts of Logan County ensuring that both sides of the county are covered. We worked with the County Judge and renovated our Southern District Office building in Booneville to make it a better place to work in. We emphasize professionalism and training with numerous in-house training classes conducted by our own certified instructors. Instead of one qualification range shoot a year, we expanded it to include combat firearms training as well. Also, we conduct in-service classes on evidence collection, criminal interdiction, leadership, defensive tactics, etc. We developed training programs and individual training manuals for all divisions including detention officers, dispatchers, and deputies. We work with our local schools and have school zone traffic enforcement at all county schools. We are also working on an agreement with the Magazine School District for law enforcement and school resource officer services. The Logan County Sheriff's Office has been my home for almost 15 years and I have served in most of the positions within our agency. During my first year as Logan County Sheriff, I supervised the move from the old 33-bed detention center to our new 100-bed detention center with a smooth transition and I worked with the Quorum Court to fund and maintain the detention center. I have almost 19 years of law enforcement experience (I also served as the Administrative Captain at the Saline County Sheriff’s Office) and am an attorney and worked as the Logan County Public Defender and as a DHS attorney working foster-care cases. I live in Paris and have been married to Heidi for 20 years and we have five children in our local schools. I appreciate your support for my re-election campaign for the Republican Primary on May 24, 2022. On a side note, thank you for the many requests for yard signs. I am creating a list of names for when I put up signs. Since the primary is in May of 2022, I believe it is too early to put up signs and I plan on putting up signs after the registration period in 2022.
