Folks, I am totally fed up with the crime that presents itself today in both Fayette County and the City of Uniontown. The are some questions why the crime and drug problem is escalating in much worse outer proportion.

1. Does our law enforcement possess the competency, experience, training to control the present crime and drug problem other that solving the most obvious solution to a crime?

2. Do they in reality care or are they there to put in day’s work then collect a paycheck?

3. Do they in reality are privy in the present day concepts method that could be put in place to control reduce the present crime and drug that presents itself today.

Now just in a few days there have been two innocent people shot in the East End of the City of Uniontown. In the most recent shooting on Wednesday a motorist was traveling on Coolspring Street when stray bullets entered his automobile injuring him that resulted with him being taken by helicopter to a Pittsburgh hospital. Folks they very well could have been children fatally or seriously injured. The driver could have been mortally injured.

The following programs are implemented that would be very effective in controlling the crime and drug problem:

1. The integrated patrol management program.

2. The tactical patrol neighborhood crime program.

Folks I possess in-depth knowledge in:

1. Crime Scene investigations

2. Evidence

3. Forensics

A. Had I have taken office as your sheriff in January of 2012 today Fayette County and  the City of Uniontown would be safe.

B. The ugly stigma would not exist.

C. Our community would be the most well respective community throughout America. When we go outside of Fayette County we could hold our heads up and proudly say “yea I resided in Fayette County, Pa.”

D. There would no doubt be tour buses lined up at the State Theatre with tour guides waiting for the tourists to come on board so they can view our most treasured historical heritage.

E. Tourists would flood our streets eating at our eateries buying our wares.

F. Our community would be as prosperous as Gettysburg. Folks we have comparable historical heritage as Gettysburg.

But folks sadly to say I am not your sheriff and will not ever be for the simple fact that our political hierarchy do not want me to be the sheriff. So, it is back to basics the same ole Fayette County will remain stagnant going nowhere.

Folks they say that they do care but in reality they don’t. They do not want better for us or our youth. Folks, if they did care why they have not put forth an effort to control the crime and drug problem. One example is when a reality series wanted to make a documentary about Fayette County the political hierarchy did not want them to mention our ugly stigma Fayette name. So the series did not materialize. So folks we all are powerless, cause when election time they simply will give you a song and dance which you will take hook line and sinker, right? You have always did, right?
