On the Record: Running for Thurston County Sheriff | Kevin Burton-Crow

On the Record™: Running for Thurston County Sheriff | Kevin Burton-CrowChoosing a sheriff means deciding who will be trusted with protecting the public, leading law-enforcement professionals, safeguarding constitutional rights, and responding during some of the most difficult moments in people’s lives.I created On the Record™ because I believe those decisions deserve more than campaign advertisements, social media posts, political arguments, or carefully rehearsed talking points. I want candidates to have the time and space to explain their experience, priorities, leadership style, and plans directly to the voters they hope to serve.In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Burton-Crow, a candidate for Thurston County Sheriff.Kevin shares his experience serving 20 years in the United States Army and his work with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, which began when he volunteered as a reserve deputy in 2014. We also discuss his current work as a Special Victims Detective, his education in criminal justice and public administration, and the experiences that shaped his service-centered approach to leadership.Our conversation covers constitutional protections, interactions between local law enforcement and federal agencies, transparency, accreditation, training standards, recruitment and retention, conditions at the county jail, community policing, and support for vulnerable members of our community.Kevin also explains his “trust but verify” approach, his support for publishing measurable information about the Sheriff’s Office, and his belief that the agency should be built around strong systems that continue beyond any individual sheriff.Every candidate on the ballot for Thurston County Sheriff has been offered the same opportunity to participate in On the Record™.My mission is not to tell you who to vote for. My mission is to give you the information you need to make an informed decision for yourself.Learn more about Kevin Burton-Crow:https://Burton-CrowForSheriff.comWatch the video version:https://youtu.be/L1q5ocdUIFIOn the Record™ is powered by Leaders Lead Network and SpeakUniversity.org.
