Effective Leadership

There is a lot more to running the columbia County Sheriffs Office than meets the eye. Your Sheriff must be up-to-date on the latest technology and policing standards. There are continuing education courses done each year, that active law enforecement officers take part in to maintain their standards.

Being your Sheriff is ensuring that the entire office is running smoothly; from the operations center, to patrol, investigations, School Resource, the Task Force, the detention facility, and the courthouse operations.

Understanding the budget process, and being willing to stand up and fight for the employees of the Sheriffs Office during budget time is an important part of being your Sheriff.

Building and maintaining relationships with surrounding counties Sheriffs as well as state and federal law enforcement agencies is a large part of my job as your Sheriff.
