Support Urged for Crider

Dear Editor,

As the race for Walla Walla County Sheriff continues, I keep seeing and hearing how the Sheriff’s Office needs to go back to the way it was. Why would some of the citizens of Walla Walla County want the operations of the Sheriff’s Office to go backwards? Even though there have been changes at the Sheriff’s Office throughout the years, the last eight years have seen improvements that help serve the citizens of Walla Walla County better. Deputies have also benefited from this with more training, better equipment, hiring of quality people, and bringing back the K-9 units. I have been with the Sheriff’s Office for the last 27 years, working as a Correction Officer, Reserve Deputy, and a Patrol Deputy for 20 of those years. I have experienced these changes first hand. Mark Crider has the experience and qualifications to continue moving the Sheriff’s Office forward into the future. So please join me in voting Mark Crider for Walla Walla County Sheriff.
