Ben Stewart for Sheriff I would like to announce my candidacy for Sheriff of Madison County to fill the office of retiring Sheriff Pete Bucher. This decision comes from an overwhelming concern for this community, a strong desire to influence the future of Law Enforcement in Madison County, and a lot of prayer. |
My goals for the Madison County Sheriff’s Office include
presenting a more concentrated effort on the war on drugs,
increasing the accessibility of
the Sheriff’s Office to the public,
promoting community
awareness and involvement with the operation of the Sheriff’s
Office, and investing in
training for officers to achieve the most efficient force possible.
I have been afforded the opportunity to serve this community for over 26 years in Law Enforcement, most of which has been spent with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office. My experience includes serving as a Corrections Officer, Communications Officer, Patrol Deputy, Traffic Deputy, Felony Investigator, State Attorney Investigator, and finally as a Supervisor, retiring from the Sheriff’s Office as Captain in December of 2005. While working in these positions I experienced all facets of the criminal justice system and investigated all types of crime from petit theft to homicides.
I am confident that this working knowledge of the Sheriff’s
Office has given me the ability to carry out the duties of the Sheriff
effectively, while being firm, fair and impartial.
