During my tenure as Chief Deputy, and Sheriff of Baldwin County, we have worked hard to keep surrounding criminal areas from expanding here. During this time, I’ve overseen the implementation of a multi-agency partnership to place safety officers in our schools. This first-of-its-kind program in Alabama saw more than 100 officers trained and deployed in schools across Baldwin County, protecting our children like never before. This unique program also provided intelligence operations on growing juvenile crime in our area, thwarting drug and gang expansion.

At the same time, we’ve also expanded our partnerships with the FBI, Border Patrol, Homeland Security and local law enforcement groups. These efforts have been very successful in removing illegal aliens, international and regional gangs, as well as drug cartels—making Baldwin County safer.​
