CAMPAIGN: This one begins

| July 6, 2018 1:00 AM

My name is Rick Whitehead and I am running for Sheriff, albeit in 2020.

I offer a substantial breadth of experience, expertise, and commitment to serve our community. With a life of public service, I am the highly qualified and dedicated public servant Kootenai County needs.

A Sheriff for ALL; I feel this office should be non-partisan, but it’s not and I’m a registered Republican. The Sheriff serves all equally without regard to party or politics. To Serve & Protect!

My experience and skills include:

- Working through explosive growth, which Kootenai County is experiencing;

- Working with neighborhood groups to collaboratively solve issues;

- Chairing multi-jurisdictional committees to make communities safer and reduce duplication;

- Managing multi-million dollar budgets;

- Designing and the implementation of training programs, and; Crafting employee compensation and benefit packages to reduce the costs of turnover, training, and liability.

I have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to bring people together to resolve issues.

Command Positions Leading: (150+ personnel)

— Homicide

— Family Violence

I need your help and I look forward to hearing from you, to share ideas, and collaborating to build many future successes throughout our county.
