​We have accomplished much during our second term in Office and the work is ongoing.  As we head into 2022, we will continue working with all of our Criminal Justice stakeholders as well as our communities to make certain we are being responsive to their needs, accountable to all, and professional in every way. 
 
Looking back at the list of priorities we set for our second term, all have either been accomplished or are currently in progress. Many more accomplishments were realized that we'd not even thought of going into the second term. I'm proud of our team and the work we've done together, with and for you.
