Hello, my name is Thomas Mindar and I am a candidate for
Sheriff of Fayette County. First, after much thought and prayer and with
the overwhelming support of my colleagues at the department and
friends here in the community, I have decided to honorably run
for Sheriff.
I have been working for the citizens of Fayette County for
more than twelve years now. It has been an honor to have worked under
Sheriff Randall Johnson and his command. I will strive to make a very
smooth transition from our outgoing retiring sheriff.
While serving my county, I was promoted to Specialist in my
division, and currently have the privilege of serving on our S.W.A.T. team.
Our S.W.A.T. team assists our highly State recognized Drug Task Force which has
taken in millions in drug seized forfeitures.
I also served four years in our country’s Army as an
Infantryman in both the 101st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division.
I was deployed to Iraq and served in Operation Desert Storm.
I believe in a hands-on approach to law enforcement. By
openly recognizing good leadership you will show others that their efforts are
meaningful to the department. Like Sheriff Johnson, I will work closely with
the public, to reduce crime and create a partnership of excellence. By
promoting public involvement we’ll all be better prepared to solve our county’s
ever changing public safety issues.
Although crime will always exist, we can lessen the frequency
of it. I plan to create programs that will be comprised of the citizens of
this county and the local law enforcement agencies. These programs will
help us drastically reduce the amount of crime that seems to be taking root in
our great county... More
