Reasons for seeking Office of Sheriff: Build Partnerships within Cities, Townships, and Indian Country of Tama County. Sheriff’s Departments should work as one unit- not separate entity approach. No services should be limited based on current divides, but rather working timelessly and aggressively on any departmental agreements that benefit all people of the county. Work with County Commissioners, City Councils, Townships, & Tribal Councils on expanding the Sheriffs Department role on new improved servicing contact ideas, potentially providing cost savings to their respected budgets. Establish hiring practices that includes the diversity of its core patrol deputies, that’s based on the residents of the county as a whole that we reside in, which should include minority hiring and female hiring as our patrolling deputies. Utilizing and applying for federal grants opportunities do to the fact, this county has the only federally recognized tribe in Iowa within its jurisdiction. A fiscally responsible Sheriff isn’t always a conservative one, it can have future unforeseen costs that will put strains on internal budgets, as Sheriff I see a future of new ideas to provide cost saving opportunities to our county, our city governments, and our citizens by partnering, thus potentially saving tax-payers money so it can be reinvested into there communities. A Sheriff must be willing to work with Indian Country, years of not partnering is honestly unacceptable for the safety of everyone. Only by working together can we bring change, and as Sheriff, this is the time for a new beginning. Vote Schrock for Sheriff in Tama County for a fresh new open door policy of opportunity, and brighter future for all of Tama County Citizens!!
