Of all the places my family has been privileged to live, we call Utah County home because of its positive culture, family values, and the good people who live here. My youth and subsequent church and military service provided me with opportunities to live in less savory areas than what we enjoy here. I have lived in large cities, including a border town, and had a front row seat to the affects crime has on the growth and well being of great communities. As a military police supervisor, security specialist, and safety professional, I am trained and prepared to combat major issues such as:
-Child and Elderly Abuse
-Sex Offender Tracking and Apprehension
-High Tech Crime
-Zero Tolerance Drug Enforcement
-Zero Tolerance Gang Enforcement
-“Behind the Badge” Community Involvement Outreach and Volunteer Opportunities
-“My Child Protection Program” aimed at teaching children to be safety conscious.
I will do this by intorducing a new foundation and direction for the sheriff's office. My platform wil be directed in 4 key positions.
