Electing a Sheriff is about more than managing deputies or patrolling neighborhoods — it’s about choosing a defender of your rights. My commitment is to uphold the Constitution, honor the oath, and fulfill the responsibilities of the role with integrity.
– Heath White
Transparency
Transparency, accessibility, and community involvement are the foundation of real public safety. Law enforcement should never operate behind closed doors.
Trust
Building trust and fostering relationships are just as important as making arrests. Law enforcement is about being a positive, active presence in the communities we serve.
Devotion
Wearing the badge is a calling that impacts not only the deputy but also their families. As your Sheriff, I will advocate for our deputies and their loved ones, recognizing the sacrifices they make and supporting them both in the field and at home.
Connection
Stronger relationships, not just force, are key to reducing crime and creating safer neighborhoods.
Restoration
Public safety doesn’t stop at the jail doors — it starts with successful reentry into society. Supporting second chances is essential to reducing crime and strengthening our community.
Empowerment
Millions of dollars in grants are available annually to law enforcement agencies for modernization, training, and equipping departments. I am committed to securing these resources to ensure Schuyler County is the best it can be.
