I want to continue completing fast and effective service and execution of court orders assigned to my office. I also want to continue applying for grant funds through our Constable Ethics Standards and Training Board to receive needed safety equipment for all Constables in Navajo County.

Daily challenges facing constables include an increasing caseload in all areas of service and execution of orders. Prioritizing items to be served is necessary to ensure priority documents such as protective orders and evictions are served timely. Knowledge of the court system and being able to provide information to both plaintiffs and defendants is important as well. Officer safety is always a challenge.

Through grant funds, we have been able to purchase much needed safety gear in order to do our jobs as safe as possible. As the Presiding Constable, I intend to apply for more grants to replace expired equipment and keep everything up to date for all of the Constables in Navajo County.

Training sessions in officer safety is also necessary to ensure we are learning and practicing ways to keep ourselves as safe as possible.

As and elected board member, I want to take the needs of our rural counties to our board to ensure we have training and opportunities that apply to the smaller rural counties, and not just focus on the larger county needs in our state.
