We have had some good sheriffs in Hamilton County (but unfortunately some very bad ones in our history, too). Happily, we have a very good one now in Sheriff Jim Hammond, who is asking for re-election, and deserves it on the basis of his good record and ability.
His name will appear on the Republican primary election ballot on May 4.
Sheriff Hammond is as conscientious and dedicated to fair and efficient law enforcement as any sheriff could be. He is honest and able. That’s why we recommend the re-election of Sheriff Hammond for his continued excellent service.
Sheriff Hammond has had wide experience. He has been a Juvenile Court probation officer, chief deputy sheriff, director of safety for a private company, a speaker and a trainer of police officers for Haiti, Russia, Germany, England, Canada, Romania and Jamaica. He also has served as chief of training at the Jordanian International Police Training Center in Amman, Jordan.
He has been the sheriff of Hamilton County since 2008, and has a record of excellent service.
