[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1976971, member: 2989"] For me, it's more than whether or not the Sheriff is pro 2A / Constitutional carry or not. The OCSO Sheriff is more than just enforcement of the law in counties and security for the court system. The Sheriff has to be able to operate and manage the organization, be able to connect with the people and have enough forward vision to expand the capabilities of the department proactively, instead of reactionary like how most government and LEO agencies operate. The OSCO is known for their development on the technological front and leads the way as one of the top in the nation for police communications and infrastructure. There's quite a few police departments in the state (some unknowingly) that depend on the infrastructure built by the OCSO. Most of this is built freely by volunteer deputies with IT backgrounds. The OSCO has done a great job of attracting younger talent and recruits to the OCSO in backgrounds like design, IT, video, ect. and is diversifying it's force beyond of what a normal law enforcement department may have in it's rosters, most volunteering for free. The bulk of the younger talent in these fields are also huge Whetsel supporters. In my opinion, if Whetsel were to lose, most of these volunteer deputies would most likely leave and that kind of talent loss would be a huge blow to the OCSO, but also LEO agencies in the state that rely on systems built by the OCSO. Whoever replaces Whetsel has to be more than just a pro 2A cowboy, but someone that can attract younger talent and has the foresight and understanding to lead innovation in not just technology, but also innovation of how LEO's interact with people. Understand the importance of attracting non-conventional people into deputy positions. Understands the political part of the job. Do I agree with everything Whetsel has done? No. I disagree with some of his viewpoints. I just don't think Sorrel is completely better. He has a lot of things going for him, but I think he would do a lot to damage the momentum of the OCSO, as well. It seems like he's just a 2A cowboy and that's the only thing he is. Anyways, that's just a quick verbal dump of why I support Whetsel. Granted, I'm a bit biased, since I do know a few OCSO deputies and almost decided to become a volunteer deputy myself. [/QUOTE]
