"Accessible, willing to listen, intelligent, and able to gain consensus"

I would like to express my support for Beltrami County Sheriff Phil Hodapp. His dedication and experience in the sheriff’s office in law enforcement and supervision are well suited to our county. It is necessary with the high instance of criminal activity coming into our “quiet” Northwood’s that we have a leader that can not only build strong relationships within the sheriff’s department but also with community, regional, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

Sheriff Hodapp’s leadership experience along with over 35 years as a professional cop and investigator serve to bring new ideas into a department that covers a large rural area. Tough work remains to stem the influx of drugs – causing untold problems for families and children – Phil is well qualified for the task.

He is very dedicated to his family, his job and is certain to keep the needs of all Beltrami County citizens in sharp focus. I have worked with Phil on many volunteer projects and am impressed that he sees things through to a successful conclusion. He is very accessible, willing to listen, intelligent, and able to gain consensus and focus on the desired results. Beyond his professional credentials, Phil is truly a nice guy.

Add me to the list of those supporting Sheriff Hodapp’s re-election!
