     Cabarrus County is rich in history - from Reed Gold Mine to the center of motor sports.  Cabarrus County has been blessed with our outstanding Volunteer Firefighters, Paid Professional Firefighters, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services.  Our Law Enforcement services also work hard to maintain the demands of an ever-growing population.  I am proud to be a lifelong resident having the honor of being involved in all of our services, which has given me a broad array of experience while continuing to serve daily with honor.

     Never have I seen the resilience of our Police and Sheriff's Deputies.  Speaking clearly about our brave Deputies, I have never seen such a shortage in terms of man power which risks the lives our first line of defense as well as causing we, the public risk.  With an unincorporated population of 53,000 residents, you may very well only see one Deputy per 10,000 residents spread over 70 square miles in each patrol zone.  That is larger than the City of Concord and part of Kannapolis.  This concerns me greatly...not only for the safety of our Deputies, but our community safety as well.  Police standards require two officers per 1,000 residents.  As Sheriff, I would double the number of deputies on patrol at no extra cost to the county by refining agency personnel.
