  • Kenbaileyforsheriff.com My first promise is to protect our kids and grandchildren in the schools. My opponent wants to use part-time deputies starting in school year 26-27. I know this for a fact because he’s asked two of my friends that have retired from the sheriffs office. Our kids and our grandkids deserve full-time protection not part-time deputies just supplement their income. I promise to have the best trained and qualified school resource officers available working to protect our child
