Effective policing is not solely about strict enforcement; it is also about intelligent resourcefulness and tapping into the professional potential of our team. As your Sheriff, I am dedicated to fostering an environment where innovation and technology are prudently integrated to enhance our service to Wasco County.

My approach to innovation is multifaceted. It is not only about procuring new tools but also about valuing and leveraging the brilliance within our ranks. Wasco county has an array of talented and motivated deputies whose potential has yet to be fully realized. By encouraging their participation, harnessing their innovative ideas, and empowering them to influence change, we can drive improvements from within.

Alongside encouraging our deputies, responsible financial stewardship is paramount. I am committed to advancing our technological capabilities by strategically utilizing grants and funding opportunities, ensuring that our advancements are not a burden on our community’s resources. Streamlining processes isn’t just about efficiency; it’s also about cost-effectiveness, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used judiciously while we elevate the quality of our service.

Professional development and empowerment remains a priority, as encourages our deputies to thrive in a changing technological landscape, making Wasco County safer and the Sheriff’s Office a model of fiscal and law enforcement excellence.
