Please consider this message as an open invitation to all police departments in Sunflower County to join me in an effort to keep our citizens safe. Let’s collaborate and work together. Let’s join forces to cut down crime in Sunflower County. We are equipped with some of the best deputies, police officers, dispatchers and judges, along with other staff members. We are capable of being GREAT!
There is strength in numbers and I would love to work hand-in-hand with all departments to ensure that we are giving our citizens a fair shot at a safer community, approachable law enforcement, and opportunities to improve themselves before being incarcerated or penalized. We can do this and we can bring change as has never been seen before – if we work together as a team.
