The Mission
Why Josh Is Running
Rhea County deserves a Sheriff's Office that is consistent, professional, and trusted — where the public gets answers, deputies have clear leadership, and standards are applied fairly every day.
Service Over Politics
The Sheriff's Office should stay focused on the mission: professional, lawful enforcement and reliable service across the county — not headlines or distractions.
Standards & Trust
Trust is earned through clear expectations, accountability, and respectful treatment. Josh is committed to leading with consistency and strengthening confidence the right way.
Platform
Core Priorities
Each priority has one purpose: a safer Rhea County and a Sheriff's Office that operates with professionalism, accountability, and community trust.
Professional Leadership
Lead from the front with clear expectations across every division. Build a command structure grounded in operational experience so decisions are practical and informed.
Accountability & Transparency
Maintain consistent standards, clear communication, and professional conduct. Accountability is not punishment — it's the foundation for trust and good policing.
Strong Patrol Operations
Focus resources on the calls that impact families and neighborhoods most. Support deputies with training, supervision, and clear guidance in the field.
Balanced Enforcement
Treat people with respect until the situation demands otherwise. Apply lawful enforcement with sound judgment — tailored to the facts of each call.
Crisis & Mental Health Response
Strengthen CIT-informed response methods and improve partnerships with mental health providers to reduce harm and improve outcomes during crisis calls.
Continuous Improvement
A Sheriff's Office that improves every day — through training, leadership development, and a culture that takes pride in doing the job correctly.
