I will change the Allamakee County Sheriff's Office's patrol coverage to 24-hour service. Currently the Allamakee County Sheriff's Office does not have deputies on duty from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. every day. The only 24- hour patrolling agency in Allamakee County is the Waukon Police Department. When someone is in distress, help needs to be on the way and oftentimes seconds count!
I will work with the police departments in Allamakee County to help them with law enforcement coverage when their respective agencies are not on duty.
My plan to increase patrol to 24-hour coverage would not increase expenses or property tax for citizens.
I will collaborate with stakeholders to continually work on a solution for mental health issues and concerns. This is not just a local issue, but one that should be approached by people state-wide. This is a conversation that must be constant in northeast Iowa.
All law enforcement agencies in Allamakee County need to train and collaborate together so that a consistent and well-articulated response can achieve the best outcome for everyone involved.
I will work with all law enforcement agencies in Allamakee County to schedule a variety of trainings so that a unified response is achieved.
Also, I will include all law enforcement agencies in Allamakee County with decisions that affect the county as a whole. Each law enforcement agency has a unique perspective in major decisions that are made.
I have worked hard to increase school safety and presence in Waukon. I will continue to push for school safety by working with local law enforcement agencies to train, plan, and be involved. Further, at the Waukon Police Department, I made it a number one priority for our officers to patrol near the local schools during high traffic times, such as during the commute to and from school.
My plan is to update and modernize equipment at the Allamakee County Sheriff's Office without causing an increased financial burden on taxpayers. My record at the Waukon Police Department shows that this has been a priority of mine and my goal has been achieved through planning and budgeting using current funding sources along with awarded grants.
I know that the Waukon Police Department has made great strides in updating equipment, practices, and training to increase overall professionalism, effectiveness, and efficiency. I will serve the citizens of Allamakee County in the same manner.

My mission is to deliver a top-notch law enforcement service to the citizens of Allamakee County by continually increasing professionalism, efficiency, and effectiveness. 24-hour patrol service is keystone in making this happen.
