Hannah Announces Run for Sheriff
12/17/07 (4:55 p.m.) Wayne Hannah, a 33 year veteran of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office, announces his candidacy for Sheriff of Fayette County. Hannah has been with the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office since 1974 and began his law enforcement career as a radio operator (dispatcher) under then-Sheriff James Jones. He has subsequently worked with Sheriff Randall Johnson for 31 years and is currently one of five division directors who reports directly to Sheriff Johnson. Since becoming a deputy sheriff in 1976, Hannah has worked his way through the ranks in the Sheriff’s office up to his current rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His diverse career includes experience as a radio operator, deputy, communications supervisor, shift supervisor, jail supervisor and Uniform Patrol Commander. He has also been the director of the Traffic Enforcement/Training Division since its inception in 1988. “Being a part of a county that has a reputation of tough law enforcement encourages me to want to continue that standing by enhancing and improving the efficiency of the Sheriff’s Office,” says Hannah. “My goal is to ensure that Fayette County citizens, visitors and business owners have a safe place to live, visit or own a business,” emphasizes Hannah. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office is a professional organization with well qualified men and women who serve with pride and integrity. Hannah states, “It is my desire to lead this organization to a higher level of technology, training and skill.” He also looks to encourage input from the community and will listen to any citizen concerns. Hannah currently serves on numerous boards and committees representing the Sheriff’s Office within the county as well as around the state. These groups consist of members of other public safety agencies, The District Attorney’s Office, the Board of Education, and various citizen groups. He looks to continue representation with these groups because he believes it is imperative that the Sheriff’s Office continue a good working relationship with them for the betterment of the community. “We all have to work together,” says Hannah. Hannah has a solid reputation as a leader who believes that the highest ethical standards should be applied to law enforcement professionals. He has a proven track record of fairness, honesty and professionalism and looks to be accountable, not only to the citizens of Fayette County and its visitors, but to the employees of the Sheriff’s Office. Hannah moved to Fayette County with his parents, Charlotte and Clarence, in 1969 and attended the 8th grade at the renovated school building in Tyrone. He then attended Fayette County High School where he graduated in 1974. Lieutenant Colonel Hannah and his wife Deborah have been married 15 years and live in the eastern part of Fayette County. He has a grown daughter and is the proud grandfather of 3 year old Hannah Martin.
