40304017_l.jpg

As Marquette County Sheriff, my top priorities focus on ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. First, I am committed to enhancing school safety and preparedness by working towards the implementation of a full-time School Resource Officer and engaging in regular safety exercises with school officials.

 

Second, I aim to collaborate with stakeholders across Marquette County to strengthen partnerships and promote valuable programs that enhance the quality of life for our residents.

 

Lastly, I will actively combat the war on drugs by enhancing drug abuse education, including strengthening our K9 program and advocating for the Marquette County Treatment Court program to foster positive interactions between law enforcement and community members.

Priorities First!
