I am Lucas Emberton and proud to announce my Republican candidacy for Van Buren County Sheriff.
I have been involved in Law Enforcement for 9 plus years and I have worked as Jailer/Dispatcher, Deputy, DTF Agent, Evidence Officer, Fiscal Officer, and have worked alongside DEA, FBI and US Marshalls. I am currently employed with the Greenbrier Police Department. I have worked hard for a positive change in Van Buren County. As I seek the elected office of Sheriff, I want to bring fresh and positive ideas to the department.
As you know, I have always been concerned about the wellbeing of all the citizens in Van Buren County. We all know that the drug situation has gotten way out of hand. Raising three little ones in this county just reinforces my commitment to protecting our schools and communities.
I still and will stand firm on my other priorities of additional training for all law enforcement to be prepared for active shooter situations, continuous field training, standards for dispatchers and jailers and, of course, training on how to handle narcotics on all levels. Also the sheriff’s budget department budget, which we know can be managed with some discipline and kept within the financial boundaries.
I am asking for your VOTE and SUPORT so we can accomplish this together. If you have any questions or would like to speak to me, please feel free to contact me at 501-253-3205.
