The current administration has had 8 years to serve Calvert County. It that time crime has continued to rise at an alarming rate. Calvert County has one of the highest crime increases in the State of Maryland. The current administration blames this trend on poor reporting, and the economy.
First, let me say the Sheriff's Department is responsible for reporting these numbers. Therefore, if it is poor reporting, who is responsible?
Second, the Sheriff blames the economy. Yesterday the FBI released it's national crime report. They reported a decrease in violent crime of 5.3% and decrease of property crimes of 4.6%. They specifically stated this decrease in crime was in SPITE of the economy.
The current administration is all about shifting responsibility and blaming others. Let's send a clear message that we want a Sheriff that stands up, takes responsibility and FIXES the problems.
Today when you vote, lets tell the current Sheriff that Calvert County can't afford another 4 years of his leadership. Let's tell him to start planning his retirement party.
Thank you for your continued support!

During the recent local shootings some sheriff,s deputies were heard to say that they had known for sometime about a certain house where drugs were being stored and sold but were told to be "hands off" because this would alarm the community into thinking that Calvert County had a drug problem.
ReplyDeleteThis type of reasoning is not only wrong, it is dangerous in the extreme. We must have an open venue to the Sheriff's office and be able to know that there are no "hands off" operations in this county.
