The responsibility of a sheriff is to serve all constituents and protect them from both criminals and government overreach.

“I'm not the government I am your county sheriff my job is to protect you from the bad guys and from government overreach that's my job”

True community policing is defined by professional conduct, building public trust, and de-escalation rather than aggressive confrontation or the use of intimidation tactics.

“And it's that sense of that's what community policing looks like. That's what this should be about. They came in here, they being the federal government, to terrorize the citizens, not about immigration.”
