Optimizing Resources for Stronger Communities: Unveiling Our Effective Resource Management Plan

Maximizing Efficiency, Minimizing Waste: How Our Strategy Will Transform Richland County for the Better

My platform prioritizes "Effective Resource Management," focusing on critical reforms such as reclaiming control of the troubled Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. Recent incidents, including deaths, officer misconduct, and accusations of inhumane conditions, underscore the urgency of change. Under my administration, the Sheriff's department will lead efforts to implement a comprehensive Rehabilitation Plan, addressing systemic issues and ensuring humane treatment of inmates.

Additionally, I propose innovative community initiatives to promote safety and well-being. This includes reimagining School Resource Officer (SRO) programs in the Richland County School district, prioritizing positive engagement and support for students. The "Zero Shots Campaign" aims to reduce violence and enhance community trust through proactive measures and conflict resolution strategies.

Furthermore, the establishment of a Community Care Unit represents a transformative approach to public safety. This unit will consist of dedicated Department Chaplains and Social Workers, working collaboratively to address the root causes of crime, provide support to individuals in crisis, and foster stronger community connections.

By reclaiming oversight of the Detention Center, implementing proactive community initiatives, and prioritizing compassionate care and rehabilitation, we can effectively manage resources, enhance public safety, and promote a more equitable and inclusive society for all residents of Richland County.
