Vision
ONE COUNTY – ONE TEAM
VISION FOR A MISSION. To ensure a well-rounded, highly trained, and competent effort providing public safety services and protection to our citizens, with integrity, community investment, selfless service, courage, compassion, and common sense –
IN A MANNER THAT ENSURES PUBLIC TRUST.
“Where there is no vision the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18

VISION FOR CHANGE…It starts with:
TRAINING
EDUCATION
STANDARDS
PROTECTOR(S) FIRST
VISION TO SET THE EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW…The goal is simple, well-rounded, highly trained, and competent Deputy’s providing public safety services to Goodhue County with integrity, community investment, courage, compassion, and common sense…
VISION OF INVESTED SERVICE & PROTECTION TO OUR CITIZENS…We need to look at how we have done business for the last several decades and before. We need a functional community-based policing model that actually enhances public safety and the level of service to our citizens. Not one that just looks good on social media…our citizens deserve it.
VISION TO ACHIEVE THE INITIATIVE AGAINST THE FUTURE CHALLENGES TO PUBLIC SAFETY…Law Enforcement is under attack. Some of the criticism is deserved; some are lunacy. Leadership must understand the difference and take decisive action to steer the Office on the right course – now and into the future. The Sheriff must see and understand the “what’s next.”
VISION TO ESTABLISH A “TEAM” ENSURING PUBLIC SAFETY IN GOODHUE COUNTY… Building partnerships is vital. Partnerships must include private and public sector, law enforcement, and non-law enforcement, internally and externally. Under my leadership, the Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office will lead a unified effort throughout the County and the municipalities within to ensure the safety and security of all communities and citizens. The vision is simple – ONE COUNTY – ONE TEAM.
