Wow! What a challenging year it has been for all of us. In 33 years of law enforcement, I can confidently say that 2020 was the most challenging year I have experienced.

It is my pleasure to present this annual report and it will provide you with a summary of the exemplary work and details about the challenging year each Sheriff’s Office division experienced and some statistical comparisons to previous years.

Something new for this year is the addition of division specific mission statements listed in bold at the beginning of each section. While we are one agency with one overall mission statement, each division is unique in its own way and it is important to separate out the specifics of what they do to compliment our overall mission.

As I review the Annual Report, the one thing that stands out is how amazing our members are, and I am so proud of the work they do. They remained highly dedicated with a positive attitude throughout all the turmoil and ever-changing environment this year. They continued to achieve excellence and were able to introduce new programs.

Members worked diligently, with dedication and commitment to ensure a safe environment for our citizens and visitors. They did all of this and kept smiles on their faces, even under face coverings. I am so honored and humbled that you allow me to serve you as your Sheriff. Thank you for your continued support for our office, it is noticed and appreciated.
