“It is not just time for a change in leadership, but time for a change in the management of the Sheriff’s Department. For years numerous opportunities for additional income have been overlooked which could help provide funding, at no expense to the citizens, for more deputies, patrols and community interaction which would bring about better law enforcement”.

“The progressive change needed and desired will not be accomplished by continuing to vote for the status quo. Every day you hear of break-ins, drugs, and roving gangs in our neighborhoods. A fresh approach to our local issues is required for progress. I will utilize my experience and police training to bring about the improvement necessary for our county.”

“Today’s youth are the key to our future and our seniors are the wealth of our past. We owe it to them, and all the citizens of Jasper County, to provide a safe and protected community in which to live.”

“I appreciate your support and your vote in my effort to become Jasper County’s next Sheriff. I will do everything possible to meet your needs and expectations,” said Mr. Yarbrough.
