Preparing for the Future and Modernization

By James Hellmold

Modernize your Sheriff's Department to address the emergence of cyber-crime, identity theft, and advanced technologies.

• Equipping patrol deputies with state-of-the-art equipment for maximum efficiency

• Expansion of crime analysis and predictive policing rather than a reactionary approach

• Educate and inform the public about technology-related crime and develop clear reporting procedures to address the issue

• Engage and empower our youth to be involved with law enforcement to address issues such as "cyber-bullying," and awareness of sexual predators

• Take a modern business approach to modernize Sheriff's Department, particularly in the areas of advanced technology

• Encourage community involvement in all aspects of technology to foster innovation and involvement with the Sheriff's Department

• Replacing outmoded guidelines with innovative and progressive policies

• Inclusiveness, creativity, and forecasting to ensure proper planning of future growth and development of the Sheriff's Department for long-term stability and success
