DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker is running for re-election.

The Sheriff is seeking his second term as the head law enforcement official of the County and says the last three years have been rather challenging for the department through overhauls in law enforcement laws and COVID and staffing challenges.

The Sheriff is touting some technological improvements down the road. American Rescue Plan Act funding is going to allow them to significantly improve body cameras and in-car cameras.

The Sheriff touts the fact he often comes in under budget. He also points out adding two additional deputies very soon will allow them to have three officers on patrol at all times as opposed to the two officers on patrol at a time currently.
