Dear Community Members of Jefferson County,
After many years of serving as your Sheriff, I want to share that I will be retiring from my position effective May 30,2026.
It has been a profound honor to serve my community and represent the values of integrity, responsibility, and public service throughout my tenure. My time at the Sheriff's Office, I have had the privilege of working alongside dedicated deputies, staff, and community members who care deeply about the safety and well-being of our county. Together we have faced challenges, celebrated successes, and built strong relationships that make this community a safer and better place to live.
I am incredibly grateful for the trust and support you have shown me during my time in office. Public service is a responsibility I have never taken lightly. I remain proud of the work accomplished, and confident in the continued leadership and dedication of those who will carry this responsibility forward.
While I may be stepping away from my official duties, my appreciation for this community will never change. I look forward to seeing our Sheriff's Office continue its important work, and to watching this community thrive in the years ahead.
Thank You for allowing me the honor of serving as your Sheriff.
Respectfully,
