"A list of reasons to re-elect Sheriff Phil Hodapp"
Yes, we have several reasons to re-elect our current sheriff, Phil Hodapp.
- Devoted family man.
- Saving our citizens money through updating the communications systems with current proven technologies, in compliance with FCC regulations requiring narrow banding by Jan.1, 2013, instead of spending the 1.5 to 7 million dollars it would require to go with the proposed ARMER 800 MHz system. Long-range planning has enabled our emergency responders to communicate with each other and neighboring entities as well.
- Top-of-the-line background in law enforcement to include all aspects of criminal investigation.
- Immersed in community activities.
- Available 24/7 to his peace officers, communications, corrections and records staff as well as the public.
- Committed to the Safe Neighborhoods initiative with proven record of results.
- Responsible for and committed to quality and professional training for all staff.
- Outstanding skills in technology which has resulted in updated equipment utilizing long-range plans for tools to improve efficiency of response and getting the job done well.
- A man with a reputation that speaks for itself: fair-minded, objective and possessed of great integrity and honesty as well as accessible to all who have a need to communicate with him.
- Known and respected among his peers throughout the state and nation for his commitment to getting the job done and doing it well. This opens many doors to communication with all levels of authority across the county, state and nation.
Why change when there is no reason to change, let’s stay the course.
