As your next sheriff, I am committed to ensuring that the citizens receive the safety and security they deserve from an agency that currently operates at a minimal level. In my capacity as a former deputy of the Fredericksburg Sheriff's Office, I can attest that the department's duties are not fully utilized to serve the people of Fredericksburg. Currently, deputies work an 8-hour shift, but only provide 3-4 hours of dedicated service to the community. Furthermore, the command staff is disproportionately large compared to the number of regular deputies. I pledge to ensure that all personnel under my leadership, including myself, work diligently for the people during every hour of duty. By streamlining the command staff and discontinuing the take-home car program for part-time deputies, I aim to reduce costs for the city. In accordance with Virginia's requirements, all departments must be certified in AED, First Aid, and CPR. While the current training program meets the minimum standards, I plan to provide additional training opportunities to all deputies, not just the command staff or select individuals. Under my leadership as sheriff, we can achieve cost savings while enhancing public safety by increasing the number of deputies on patrol in our roads and neighborhoods. •VOTE RODGERS4SHERIFF 2025• Go Local FXBG FXBG
