His 15 years with the Black Hawk County Sheriffs Office, his education, his commitment to educating others, and his commitment to self improvement (through education, study, networking and personal drive/desire) certainly fits the bill for what I am looking for in the next sheriff of Black Hawk County. I love the thought of a well-spoken, well-educated and well-thought-of sheriff. I know that Tony Thompson fits that description. |
