In 2007 I pledged that our office would:

• Deliver quality and professional services to the citizens of our county
• Establish local Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force
• Support the expanded use of the DNA Database for solving crimes
• Develop a Inmate Workforce program for non-violent inmates

I am proud to say that we have been able to accomplish the first three commitments that we made. Within the next few months our fourth and final campaign commitment should be accomplished. My office and I have worked hard to fulfill our commitments to the citizens.  There are many challenges ahead for our community and for the criminal justice system. Our office will continue to be prepared to work with you to meet and to overcome these challenges.
