MY PLANS AND GOALS FOR WAYNE COUNTY AS YOUR SHERIFF
I will ensure that the SRO's (School Resource Officers) are in fact in place in each school. I will make sure that every deputy has been through the SRO training program that is required by the State of Georgia. Also, I will inform the Wayne County community of the name of each deputy and school that the deputy is responsible for. Transparency is a must for our community and I plan on doing that for you.
I will see that we get the "Explorer Program" back into the system. Once the program is back in the system, young adults can have the personal awareness of the criminal justice system through training, practical experiences, competition and other activities. You will have the opportunity to participate with other agencies on the city, county, state and federal levels. You willalso be able to gain self-discipline, teamwork, challenging experiences, personal conduct, and learn responsibility to both self and others. I think the program would implement community services and networking abilities along with careerfocused training. I can't speak enough on "Training", you will hear me say that word a lot.
I will see that Flock Cameras are placed throughout the county for investigative purposes, as well as, patrol units for city, county, and state agencies and our neighboring counties,etc. If you are not familiar with the "Flock Camera System", google Flock Cameras. I guarantee you that you will love the advantages it will provide. Note: The Flock Camera System is not a speed detection device. It will not provide your speed and will not issue any type of citations.
As your Sheriff of Wayne County, I will bring into the department the "Project Lifesaver Program". The Project Lifesaver program has helped thousands of families have peace of mind daily knowing that their loved one has protection and safety in case they wander off in any manner. Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety. Project Lifesaver is a non-profit organization. I am a certified licensed Project Lifesaver equipment operator and let's not forget that I am also certified as a "Hostage Negotiator" through the State of Georgia.
As your Sheriff of Wayne County, I will start a work detail for long term inmates with full security in place to include the upgraded security of the Wayne County Jail. These work details will clean the trash from all our county roads that seem to stay littered with all types of debris. The details will also help with any type of building for city/county if needed to cut costs of outside labor. Be assured that these details will be guarded,always.
As your Sheriff of Wayne County, I think transparency is on top of the list of knowing what is going on within the department, as well as, outside of the department. I will have a web site formed so anyone at any given time can see why, where, and the reason for top purchases. For example: I purchased two red trucks and two white trucks and you are curious why those were bought with your tax dollars. You simply pull up the web page and you will see how much was spent on each vehicle and where they were purchased and the reason they were needed, etc. This would be from the Sheriff's Department only.
I will have a detective on night shift and they will rotate between other detectives how they choose to do so. I will also have theft units formed for such as entering autos and other types of theft that have been occurring on a regular basis within our community. These units will also do investigative follow upsto stay up to date on the situations.
"Drugs", let’s talk about the drug problem and how I plan on addressing the issue. First, and foremost, I will tell you that you will never get rid of all the drugs in this area and any other area, but I will enforce it so hard that you will think it’s gone. I will enforce it more out in the county where it hasn't been enforced,as much. I will continue to work hand in hand with the city and other agencies, as well. We will work together as one team for all areas of the county. I will have all investigations proofread before they are transferred over to the DA's office. No investigation under my command will go incomplete. If the case is an overload or of a high, profile nature for the department, the GBI will be called in before it starts, so it will not have any complications before trial, etc.
I have so many other items and plans for a better Wayne County, but I will tell you that some of the things that are in place now such as Junior Deputy and the fishing thing will not disappear and will stay in place. I will have a community cookout at some point to include citizens of Wayne County and the City Police, Firefighters, and EMS. I want to make Wayne better than you have ever seen and I have tried on many occasions to work my home county due to the Love I have for you all. As your Sheriff, you will see me more and will get the call backs that you deserve. I will answer any question you have and if I can't give you the answer at that moment, you will get it within 24 hours from me your Sheriff and not my secretary.
