This morning I had the privilege to file to become your next Morgan County Sheriff. As a lifelong resident of Morgan County and working in public service since 1991, I want to continue my commitment to our community. I have three goals as Sheriff that I would like to improve on; retention of personnel, mental health (for our community and first responders), and continuing the Morgan County Drug Task Force. I am open to any questions or concerns and look forward to serving as your next Sheriff.
