with 379 sq miles and 978 road

the mid-state.
The Sheriff of a county this size
is a manager, budget director,
and law enforcement officer.
While I have arrested individu

limits my role of Sheriff to man

MISSION STATEMENT
My vision for the future
of Houston County is to
have a County that attracts
industry for future job
growth, promotes orderly
residential and commercial
growth, promotes all levels
of education, promotes more
green space and conservation
land. I will continue to work
hard to have this vision come
to fruition so that our children
and grandchildren will want
to live and work in Houston
County after their education
is finished.

a top level business manager
nor skilled budget director. The

make sure they are carried out,
providing them with the re
sources they need to get
the job done. j/KHtA
