THE BEST CHOICE IN NOVEMBER TROYESTES FOR

The voters of Tuscola County may be asking, “Who is Troy Estes and why elect him Sheriff in November?” I live in Mayville with my wife Barbara and daughter Mary. I have worked as a Law Enforcement Officer for over 76 years and am now employed by the Waterford Township Police Department. My backgound with this department has been in Community Policing and Problem Solving, which put me in direct contact with the people I sewe on a daily basis. It was through this close working relationship with residents, businesses and law enforcement that we reduced overall crime and improved the quality of life in Waterford.

I love Tuscola County just the way it is today, and I wouldn’t wish to change it. My only intention is to change the way the Sheriffs Department conducts business in the county.

This is what I don’t like: “Juvenile Crimes on the Rise”, Tuscola County’s juvenile court system is witnessing an increase in serious crimes committed by minors”, Advertiser, Saturday, Feb. 28, 1998. “Tuscola County had 260 burglaries in 7997, as compared to 227 in 1996, which is a 14.5 percent increase.” Advertiser, Aug. 5, 1998. Many other counties saw a decrease. “One killed, five injured in crash”, Advertiser, Wednesday, July 12, 2000. Tuscola County has numerous headlines similar to this every year. “Child escapes abduction”, Advertiser, Saturday, June 6, 1998 ‘’Robbery Rate Five Year Tmd,Increased 237.87%’; Advertiser, Wednesday, Feb. 17, I999 ‘Violent Crime Rate Five Year Trend, IncreasedJ’,Advertiser, Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1999. “Plea entered to drug chta&#’, Advertiser, March 18, 2000. This is a headline that is becoming more common. “When Re-Elected there will be no changes for the next four yeam”, Sheriff Tom Kern, Oct. 6, Saginaw News.

The election on November 7th is not a popularity contest. If we don’t take steps to change these trends, Tuscola County will not be the same four years from now. My family and yours deserve better, and that is why I am running for the Office of Sheriff.

Tom Kern says there will be no changes if he is re-elected, that’s not good enough. I have extensive experience in reducing crime and working with citizens. I know we can reverse these trends and ensure our quality of life.

I am proposing we dramatically increase our involvement with our children. Let‘s be pro-active and help reduce the incidents of teen drug and alcohol use and help our kids deal with their frustrations without resorting to violence. They Are Our Future11

I believe the Tuscola County jail is not a hotel at taxpayers’ expense. I pledge to remove all Ws,radios and other forms of media and recreation when elected. I will replace this with religious material of the inmates choice and access to a library. Also, if you place your trust in me to be Sheriff, I want every honest citizen to know I will return that trust by advocating for your rights on the Gun Board. Your vote for me today will guarantee a safer tomorrow. Paid for by the committee to elect Troy Estes Sheriff, 291 Phelps Lk.
