Communicating with the public through town hall meetings and community involvement

By Steve Bernal

Candidate for Sheriff/Coroner; County of Monterey

This information is provided by the candidate
As an elected official, I will be transparent and will prioritize communicating with the people I serve.
The mission of the Monterey County Sheriff' Office is to protect and serve it's community members. However, it cannot uphold this if it is not in constant communication with the people it serves. By refusing to honestly communicate with the public, the current administration has hindered their ability to properly serve Monterey County.

Under my administration, I will seek to communicate with the public whenever possible. This includes participating in community activities, and holding regular town hall meetings throughout the county. Through these public forums, each neighborhood will have the opportunity hear the Sheriff's strategy for their community, and the Sheriff will gain a greater understanding of what remains to be done. Another integral facet of community communication is fostering a connection with our youth. I will re-establish the School Resource Officer program, and place Deputies on various campuses throughout the county. Not only will this protect our youth, but it will also give at-risk children the role models they may be missing at home. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office must better communicate with the public, if we are to effectively serve and protect our county.
