Long for Sheriff

Together We Can Change Alamance

Supporting our community with care, dignity, and hope.

Building A Future Together by Implementation

We will be an office dedicated to prioritizing community engagement, mental health crisis response, and accountability. We will implement ongoing training for deputies on de-escalation and mental health awareness to ensure they can handle sensitive situations.

Our mission is to bring a new era of integrity, justice, and accountability to the Sheriff's Office. My administration will be built on a foundation of community trust, transparent practices, and a commitment to proactive, prevention-focused policing that reduces crime and ensures every citizen is treated with dignity and respect.

What we do

The Sheriff’s Office isn't just about changing law enforcement on the streets; it's about fundamentally transforming all three pillars of the Sheriff's Office.
