Below listed are some of the items that I will institute as your Sheriff:

Give the personnel of the Sheriff’s Department complete and unfettered support to do the jobs that they have been trained to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
“Master the Basics”

Reward commendable performance. Recognize high performing individuals, possibly at County Commission mtgs.

Partner with CNM and UNM to bring higher education to the workforce, stimulating the economics of the schools with the tuition assistance of the employees, improving standards and raising the community’s perception of the Dept.

Community Collaboration
Higher visibility for patrol. Routinely have briefing in the field. Have investigators update patrol units at their briefings.

Implement briefing for the Investigators and support staff.

Make patrol services more streamlined. Implement insurance exchange forms and on-line reporting.

Be more proactive at running down local warrants. Benefits to the County and department productivity.

Better communication with other Law Enforcement agencies. Be more agreeable about assisting, but not be taken advantage of. Have investigators routinely brief other agencies on current criminal trends.

Have other agencies investigate criminal allegations against personnel to outwardly display transparency. Be willing to do the same for others. (Look into cross-commissioning with surrounding jurisdictions).

Go strong with specialty units (DWI, traffic, K9, SWAT). Not at the cost of patrol but to strongly augment.

Invite County Commissioners and other community leaders to Briefings and ride-alongs.

Ensure updated and current training with Federal (FBI, DEA, DHS) and State (NMLEA, NMDPS) standards.

Enforce standards of excellence. Expecting respect from every employee.
