As Sheriff…

my commitment

As your elected sheriff, I am committed to upholding the law, as defined by the New Hampshire and United States Constitutions, and protecting the rights of the people. My primary responsibilities are to ensure public safety, enforce the law, and respect the legal rights of individuals. The state constitution, along with the U.S. Constitution, serves as the foundational framework guiding my duties. Protecting constitutional rights, such as due process and equal protection, and freedoms like speech and assembly, is central to my role. Balancing law enforcement with these protections is crucial to maintaining justice and public trust for the people of Strafford County, New Hampshire.

my goals for the office

There should be a clear line of communication between the sheriff’s office and the public. When elected, our office will provide daily updates and weekly and monthly statistics to inform the community about our actions because your role in our safety is crucial.

My office will be committed to ensuring a safe community. I will work with my team to develop and discuss strategies to help reduce crime and enhance public safety, including programs, workshops, and information on safety awareness.

I will ensure collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, federal and local governments, and community organizations to share resources and improve overall public safety. Their involvement is integral to our success.

I am committed to ongoing training for law enforcement personnel, including de-escalation techniques, cultural competency, and evolving with modern law enforcement—positive re-enforcement and training to affect employee satisfaction and retention. This commitment ensures our team is always prepared to serve you.

My team will address the importance of mental health and substance use disorder resources in our community. We will partner with local organizations to support individuals in crisis and work to prevent recidivism.

I am encouraged to develop programs that engage our community’s youth, from mentorship programs to educational outreach to sports activities that will foster positive relationships.
