Our Mission

It is the mission of the McCormick County Sheriff Department to improve the quality of Life for the citizens of McCormick County by maintaining a high standard of professional accountability, reducing the fear of crime, and reducing the fear of retaliation from those persons who constitute the criminal element within the county.

This mission will be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of the Sheriff’s Department and the community by employing effective community policing strategies and problem-solving techniques supported by aggressive enforcement of Federal, State and Local Laws.

Our Vision

To be recognized as a leader in Law Enforcement Techniques and Community relations. To deliver quality protection to the citizens, in order to promote and improve the quality of Life in McCormick County.

Citizens Review Board

As a candidate for sheriff of McCormick County, I am committed to fostering transparency, accountability, and trust between the sheriff's department and the community. One of my key initiatives will be establishing a Citizens Review Board, which will play a crucial role in maintaining accountability and fostering trust between law enforcement and the community.

This board, composed of community members, reviews complaints and incidents involving police officers to ensure transparency and fairness in investigations. The board aims to hold officers accountable for their actions, address misconduct concerns, and recommend policy improvements by providing an independent oversight mechanism.

Their efforts help bridge the gap between the sheriff's department and the citizens, promoting mutual respect, understanding, and a commitment to justice and integrity in law enforcement practices. This board will ensure law enforcement operates honestly and fairly, enhancing public confidence in our department. My dedication to this initiative reflects my commitment to upholding justice and creating a safer, more united McCormick County for all residents.
