LET'S work together!

The Salem Sheriff's Office is a very unique office in how it is organized in conjunction with the responsibilities and duties it must fulfill; therefore,  It would be unwise to part with the current staff.  My goal is not to replace members within the Sheriff's Office, but to build and improve on what is already established.

The way the Sheriff's Office is currently structured, I was limited on training opportunities and experience to continue to grow as a law enforcement officer and leader.  I wanted to continue to serve the City of Salem and saw the Police Department as a place that would allow me to expand my knowledge and continue to grow.  This move proved successful as I have been afforded many great opportunities to learn and grow, which I wouldn't have at the Sheriff's Office.  

 It has always been a goal of mine to become the Sheriff of Salem.  I now want to take the experiences and opportunities I've gained at the Police Department and apply those to the Sheriff's Office.  I want every member of the Sheriff's Office to feel valued, invested in and have continuous growth.  I will use my experiences at both places to build a more cohesive relationship between the Sheriff's Office and Police Department.   

I am not currently affiliated with a political party.  In full transparency though, I am considered a moderate republican based on my voting history.  What's most important is that I am an individual who will make unbiased decisions for myself based on the knowledge I have, credible information I've received, community input and what I feel is morally and ethically correct.  Our great city is very diverse, and it is important that I make decisions that are in the best interest of all citizens.

There are many ways to assist with my campaign.  

Financially: Financial support can be provided by monetary donations through cash or checks payable to Shelor4Sheriff.  It can be delivered to me personally or by mail to:

Shelor4Sheriff

P.O. Box 2987

Salem, VA 24153

Volunteering: There are so many opportunities to volunteer.  You may help with one of my community events, passing out flyers, stickers, signage etc.  You may also volunteer with canvassing neighborhoods and business districts. I can provide you with materials and items to assist with this effort.  

Services or Goods: Community events are the best way to provide assistance through services or goods.  Examples could be donating food, drinks, giveaways items, raffle items etc.  It could also be simpler such as offering your lot or business as a place to meet for events or gatherings.  

Conversation: A simple and wonderful way to help is the power of word of mouth! Help spread the great things I am trying to do for both the Salem Sheriff's Office and the City of Salem.  Accurate and effective face to face communication is priceless.

In all there are countless ways to help, many of which don't involve money.  I have ways to help that are suitable for the extraverted and introverted personalities.   I thank everyone for your support, no matter in which way it is demonstrated.  Together we will have a positive impact on our community, and I thank you for your commitment to my campaign!
