Support Mark Crider for Sheriff

 

October 4, 2018



Dear Editor,

During Mark’s first month as undersheriff at the Walla Walla County Sheriff’s Office, he made it a point to attend roll calls and ride-along with different deputies. During the roll calls, Mark allowed deputies to ask him questions about his views on leadership, his life, the direction he wants to take the sheriff’s office, and anything else that came to mind. Mark was open and honest throughout these conversations. I, along with several of my squad mates, appreciated his willingness to speak with us candidly on various topics.

Shortly after Mark attended our roll call, he asked me if he could ride-along with me for part of my shift. This ride-along was not to “evaluate” me or tell me how to do my job, no; it was to be my backup, get to know me personally, and understand my views on the issues that face Walla Walla County in regards to law enforcement. During this shift, Mark assisted me on a traffic stop and serving civil papers. He even acted as my partner during a building search. This allowed me to conduct the building search without requesting a second unit, which in turn left more patrol deputies available to better serve the citizens of Walla Walla County.

Mark’s 10 years in the navy, 22 years in the FBI, his education, and his various training certificates make him the most qualified candidate to be the next Walla Walla County Sheriff. But above all else, Mark is an incredible leader and mentor. Please join me in voting for Mark Crider as the next Sheriff of Walla Walla County.
