I will remove the remaining untrustworthy by-products from the Sheriff's Office. 
- The administration requires immediate attention with induction of new leadership.
- They took mass amounts of Performance bonuses without reason at tax-payers expense.
- Not everyone particpated or took advantage.

I will move to reduce City Governments paying excessive amounts for Coverage.
- Mary Esther and Destin currently pay MORE tax dollars for Sheriff Coverage.
- If the City does not establish the Police Organization it is still the SHERIFF's requirement to provide adequate coverage until such time as the City does establishes a Police Organization.

I will reduce vehicle usage by non-critical/non-emergency personnel.
- It took the administration 10-years to get the SWORN Deputies vehicles.
- The non-sworn/non-critical personnel had vehicles before the Deputies.
- Tax payers purchase the gas and insurance on those vehicles used by the Staff Support.
- I will create a small motor pool of vehicles to be used by the Staff for OFFICIAL use only.
- I WILL drive the same vehicles as the Deputies; I WILL NOT spend 30k-60K on a vehicle for myself or senior Deputies. (Recent purchace of GMC pickups...be sure to ask Larry Ashley where they came from and who owns the dealership!!!!)

I will clean our image to bring back the respect and admiration this Office deserves.
- I will rebuild the confidence of the citizens in the Office's overall image and duties.
- I will re-establish standards that the citizens are accustomed to having, and bragging about.

I will set and provide more training for the Deputies covering a wide spectrum.
- As a former USAF Regional Training Manager, I will provide real hands on training.
- I will develop, demonstrate and provide actual hands on scenario style training.
- Deputies will literally know how to "move, shoot and communicate" during intense scenarios.
- The current Office's training regimen is lacking and unacceptable...ask you local Deputy.

During 2008 Campaign I showed the tax-payer how to initially save $2,000,000.
- I will continue to stream-line the budget without sacrificing Police Services, which is happening NOW!!!!! .  (BUDGET)
- There is more that can be cut to bring the Budget back to reasonable levels.

I will seek more Federal/State funding for various positions, training and equipment
  -- Now is the time to get more Grants to eleviate tax-payer burdens

I will work efficiently to unified the Police Services county-wide...make it a point to work mutually with the Police Departments on Joint Tactics and Responses
