New Goals for next term:

1)  Working Relationships

-Continue to listen and maintain with our Augusta County Community

-Local and State Officials to ensure wages, retirement, and equipment for ACSO Deputies

-Need to continue to invest in technology for law enforcement including: cameras, license plate readers, drones, and robot capabilities.

2)  Additional positions within the ACSO

-Training Sargent

-Evidence Room Sargent

-Establish Traffic Division- as Augusta County continues to grow, so does our need to police the traffic and the complaints that are generated daily.  I-81 continues to be a challenge for Augusta County as the interstate traffic is detoured through the county weekly.

3)  ACSO is now Accredited, and I will strive to maintain this standard

4)  Community Engagement

-Volunteer Safety Assistance Patrol

-Citizens Sheriff’s Academy

-Add additional Reserve Deputies to ACSO

5)  Crisis Stabilization Unit for Staunton, Augusta, Waynesboro and surrounding jurisdictions

-We need to be better prepared for our mental health crisis. Have a plan to provide care and get law enforcement back out in the community vs. sitting at the hospital for days on end. Provide treatment not a holding area.
