Good morning,
It looks like we have some colder weather coming. Don't forget to protect your water pipes and pets and check on your neighbors. Bundle up and stay warm!
I have attached some numbers for the end-of-the-year report on felony arrests, drug seizures, and illegal guns taken off our streets. I am very proud of the work that has been done since being elected as your sheriff. I would challenge anyone to look at a department of our size and compare the numbers. All the credit goes to my personnel who get out there every day, putting their lives on the line to make our county a safer place to live. I want to recognize Fordyce Police Chief Chad Hubanks and his staff for the unwavering support they've provided over the past year. I can assure you that, together, we have made a difference in reducing violent crime and drug-related activity in our city/county. Lastly, I thank the citizens of Dallas County for their support throughout my tenure as Sheriff.
