Poll - Should Sheriff be an elected position?

Firestone Discussion
21

To respond to all people suggesting various election systems and qualification restrictions:

I would allow the public to decide all of this in future polls. Term lengths, necessary qualifications, etc. as it would only be fair to do so. Then, once an agreeable change is met, it would be proposed.

This would only happen of course if a “Yes” result were achieved.

Ok on a serious note, absolutely ridiculous. It was shot down last time internally because this is just a cause of massive inconsistent leadership for the department. You cannot accomplish jack shit within a few months of a term. Sheriff A comes in make a ton of changes then Sheriff B is elected and reverts everything. You are asking for inconsistent leadership. Strictly speaking you’re just inviting clueless people to lead a department for a short term of period and changes occur repeatedly. It would make so much sense to have a stable department under a firm leadership therefore there’s actually some stability within the department and people know the system in and out that way too. A new Sheriff is going to have to become familiar to their duties and the transfer of documentation each time, understanding all administrative procedures it’s just a mess and a headache.

I don’t think that people that are fresh out of POST should have the ability to become a department head so quickly

There needs to be some floor for experience, so maybe time served instead of rank would prevent the problem you described

IIRC Mack broke the law by being a department head of two departments and making a state department into an SCFD division, but this is no longer how it works

I support but the election must come from within the department for example candidates must be 9 months+ experience with Highcomm in any SW JD DEP & a sheriff can run for an unlimited amount of terms.

what ‘ton of changes’ lol, sheriff A allowing 4 days of unexcused inactivity and sheriff B allowing 3 or something. not even the governor changing every 4 months upsets the balance of the state

So true. Remove all elected positions!!!

I agree. Electing the Sheriff would lead to unstable leadership, making it really hard for the department to function properly. If a new Sheriff is elected every few months, policies would flip-flop, and nothing would truly get done. It’s like having someone win a popularity contest rather than earning their spot through hard work and experience. Keeping the Sheriff appointed means the role goes to someone who’s worked their way up and really understands how to run the department effectively.

i think electing a sheriff would allow the PUBLIC to DETERMINE how SCSO is ran
which is good and bad
scso command = inactive
elections = new scso command
= good??? idk
