UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Pickens County is no longer a small county in the Upstate of South Carolina that can ignore crime and our community problems.

We must provide our deputies the training, technology, and motivation to prevent and solve crime in Pickens County. Good old-fashioned police work must be combined with innovative technology to make Pickens County safer for tomorrow. It is this tomorrow that the Sheriff’s election is about in 2012. This election is about the future and not the past that the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office is trapped in now.

We must have a Sheriff who is trained in and is currently performing day-to-day law enforcement operations and understands what the deputy in your neighborhood needs to fight crime. It is essential to have a new sheriff who understands the needs for law enforcement today but most importantly for tomorrow. We can no longer rely on a Sheriff’s Office that is led by retirees of the past that are not leading us into the future. The time for positive change is 2012!
