Ideas for YOUR Sheriff Department:
· Bring back a true department briefing, with an open door policy, allowing county citizens to attend
· Establish an “on-line” reporting system for non-emergency calls for service
· Establish a “Crime Mapping” system to better allocate department resources
· Establish a “Citizen Academy” to foster cooperation between the department and the citizens of Otero County
· Increase the Detective Division to include placing a full-time detective in the Chaparral Community
· Expand the Department oversight of sexual predators living within the county
· Assist in the creation of a "Family Advocacy Center" for Otero County to assist victims of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault with a centralized location which combines law enforcement, victim advocates, legal, and medical staff to help decrease the stress and trauma victims already face
"I would appreciate and respect your vote in November; thank-you!"
