A LETTER FROM BAKER COUNTY SHERIFF SCOTTY RHODEN
Dear Citizens of Baker County,
It is most important that I begin this letter with THANK YOU. The support of the community over the past four years has been overwhelming and it is my honor to continue to serve Baker County as Sheriff for the next four years. Since being elected for my first term as Sheriff, I have been working diligently with my team to exceed your expectations.
When I ran for Sheriff in 2016, I ran on a promise of “New Leadership and New Direction”. After a great deal of prayer and a lot of sleepless nights, I feel blessed to say that we have changed the direction of the Baker County Sheriff’s Office and I am fulfilling my promise of “New Leadership in a New Direction”. There are too many blessings to count, but the refinancing and budget have had one of the greatest impacts on our entire community. Not only did the refinance positively affect the Sheriff’s Office, but it also had a dramatic positive effect on the financial situation for our city and county. I am honored to be able to work with officials throughout the county to keep the citizens of Baker County in our best interest and continue to move us in this new direction.
The most important contribution I have made to Baker County is serving this community to protect others. If I have learned nothing else in my first term, it is that there is no greater gift than being able to give back to my community. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to Baker County for allowing me the opportunity to serve as your Sheriff and to work alongside some of the finest men and women in this country.
If you ever have comments or questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call. I am here to serve you.
Respectfully,
