• Qualifications! I know many of you are starting to follow along in the final days of this campaign (election Day is Tuesday, August 11th!) and may have missed some of my earlier posts. I was asked to detail my qualifications again for any newcomers or curious folks. I think it's critically important for a law enforcement agency executive to be transparent with the public about their qualifications, experience and preparation for the job. Please note that you can find more information about th

• Another question from the campaign trail: “You spoke out about how you would not take commissions. But it is a perfectly legal practice. So why do you not want to take the money?” I appreciate the interest in this topic. Like we have discussed before, it is perfectly legal for Vermont Sheriffs to accept up to 5% of the value of the contract as compensation for administering said contract (24 VSA 291ac). Other people can do as they wish, but if elected, I would use all the funds I can for the dep

• I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Danville Selectboard meeting last night. One of the things I respected was how the board talked about all the issues amicably and valued each other's input - this was a common theme across my selectboard visits. I say this because with this visit I have attended every towns selectboard meeting once. All 17 towns in our county. It is important for a sheriff (or a potential sheriff) to get out and meet everybody, not just the towns that have contracts o

• Outreach in The Middle of It All: Another Way To Help As Sheriff. I recently attended a meeting and spoke to a person before it started. I told them the story of what I would consider one of my biggest failures in law enforcement: which was not being able to get somebody help they were asking for when they realized they had a problem AND sincerely wanted to make a change. I firmly believe in protecting our community by holding lawbreakers accountable via the justice system and have the record t

• Folks, I want to talk about an important issue. I've been reviewing town patrol contracts because I know this is a concern to many. The documents I have looked at thus far have this clause (shown below) on them, allowing the sheriff to be paid up to 5% of the value of the contract. Now I want to be clear: this is not illegal. It is allowed by current law. That doesn't make it right. I got into law enforcement to help the community I serve, not line my pockets with commission money. If elected yo

• Hey, Caledonia County, I heard you were looking for a sheriff. I'd like to apply. This campaign is a long job application and interview process that ends when you make your final hiring decision via the election on August 11th. Every conversation with voters, meeting, statement or public appearance is part of that hiring decision. But instead of turning in a resume to the company owner or manager I'm speaking to you, the voters. So far in these messages and in person I have talked about my ex
