Write in Miller for sheriff in Lake County

I would like to submit this letter to put forward, support, and ask the citizens to “write in” Lake County Sheriff patrol supervisor, Sgt. Glenn Miller for sheriff in this election.

I believe that a sheriff should be chosen by the people within the community where they will work, not by affiliation. As such, I firmly believe the best qualified, most experienced across multiple facets within the department, and the broadest understanding (actually working within various components in the Lake County Sheriff’s Office) is Sgt. Glenn Miller.

Sgt. Miller has worked as a reserve deputy, a patrol deputy, currently is a patrol supervisor, boat patrol / dive supervisor, maintains the SRT program as SRT supervisor, and is marine patrol / dive supervisor. Miller has also reworked and oversees the Field Training Officers program.

 Sgt. Miller oversees and works within two budgets, SRT and marine patrol/dive so he has a strong understanding of the operational budgetary requirements needed to properly operate within budgets given.

Sgt. Miller works with Northwest Drug Task Force, so he understands multi-agency cooperation and he holds many  law enforcement certifications and accommodations.

Sgt. Miller was awarded the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year by the Marine Corps League, Hellroaring  Det. 1041 for 2013. Miller has honorably served the Montana National Guard military police in a tour in Iraq, and was voted in as union president by his peers.

I am proud to introduce Sgt. Glenn Miller to the citizens of Lake County, and hope that you will join me in writing his name in for the next Lake County sheriff.
