Let's talk Leadership and Participation..... As the only candidate with almost two decades of experience in office (16 yrs in senior management), Kevin Miller has been an active participant over the years in many venues. During those years, Kevin was a reliable and active participant with the Healthy Adams County Domestic Violence Task Force/Human Trafficking Task Force discussing areas of conflict and problem solving matters to better assist victims of domestic violence with respect to Protection From Abuse Orders (PFA's) and all of the challenges faced regarding the service of them. Kevin feels strongly about the deterrence of Human Trafficking and especially passionate about wanting to bring people to justice for those that harm our children and youth. He would like to see the Sheriff's Office play a greater role in those areas. At the meetings he attended, great conversations led to a better approach to quick service of the orders and a more thorough approach of the process. In the more recent years, Kevin chose to be a good leader and as a good leader does, recognized strength and provided opportunity for a subordinate supervisor to be part of the Task Force due to his duties as the Operations Lieutenant in the Office rapidly increasing. He didn't stop there. A few years ago an unfunded legislative mandate came about creating the situation where firearms are confiscated more regularly during PFA services (Act 79). All of the local agencies had to figure out where they would find room in their departments to store an elevated amount of firearms. In addition to being responsible for the planning of supervision of the remodeling/restructuring of the office, the Property and Evidence Room was also greatly enlarged to handle the effects of Act 79. Additionally, he was also volunteering for many years at the Adams County Technical Institute representing the Office alongside other local municipal and State Police Officers assisting with the NOCTI (National Occupational Competency Testing Institute) assessment of the Juniors and Seniors from all the participating Adams County School Districts School during their Criminal Justice assessment. This assessment measures the student's skills and knowledge for a career. It includes how to make an arrest, processing a crime scene, proper handcuffing, and documentation to name a few. Once again, Kevin recognized strength in office leadership and presented the opportunity to a subordinate supervisor providing them a mechanism to grow as a leader and participate in more events. Kevin will continue to step up immediately when necessary to fill the void if they are unable to attend an event or meeting. Kevin continues to actively participates with and represent the Sheriff's Office in the following venues and will continue to do so because they are vital to the operations of County Government: Security Board, Prison Board, Criminal Justice Advisory (CJAB), CJAB Technology Committee, Adaptable Achievers, and was also the CJAB Warrant Committee Chairperson under the supervision of the Honorable Judge Michael George where a 'Warrant Guide" was created that later helped lay a path for a more efficient approach to the service of warrants in Adams County today. Once the goal of the committee had been accomplished, it was disbanded. Additionally, several years ago as the Operations Lieutenant, Kevin was appointed by the Adams County Chief's of Police Association to represent them as their Criminal Justice Sub-Committee voting board member for the South Central Task Force, in Pennsylvania and continues that role today. Recently he was instrumental for inviting a key player from the South Central Task Force to the Adams County Chief's of Police meeting that will now play a huge role in possible low to no-cost training of law enforcement officers in and out of Adams County in order to enhance the ability to keep our children safer in the future. Personally, Kevin is in the process to become an Assistant Boy Scout Master for his local troop. Kevin does show up and will show up if elected as Sheriff.
