Safety

Many of our neighborhoods have experienced a surge in crime. Rob Elbon plans to take to the streets – and take them back. As Sheriff, his goal is to restore safety to homes and neighborhoods throughout Randolph County by bringing service back to our local communities.

Drug Trafficking

The Opioid Crisis has destroyed lives and torn families apart, leaving a trail of destruction through the County. Rob actively fights to protect all of our citizens from opiates and other dangerous drugs by relentlessly pursuing drug traffickers wherever they hide.

Homelessness

Unfortunately, homelessness is becoming a serious issue in Randolph County on privately-owned land. Tent encampments are also affecting local tourism and creating a public health hazard. Rob plans to address homelessness as part of his overall plan to Keep Randolph County Strong.

Education

Educating the children about drug-free lifestyle alternatives is a priority for Rob. As Sheriff, he will continue promoting his anti-drug and anti-bullying message throughout Randolph County.

Direct In-School Monitoring and Surveillance

Rob will assign a deputy to every school in Randolph County. The deputy will be directed to develop a relationship with each child by talking with them and sitting with them at lunchtime while collecting information from the children, as well as support staff, teachers, and the principal of each school, several times each month. This comprehensive in-school surveillance and safety monitoring program will enable our law enforcement officers to rapidly identify any potential matters affecting a particular school or issues involving certain students, as well as any general concerns.

New D.A.R.E. Program Expansion

Additional funding will be pursued to expand access to the new and improved Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.). The updated curriculum of this federally-funded program is designed to deliver information to children as young as 5 about depression, vaping, and the misuse of opioids, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, in addition to the classic program (which helps children learn more about prohibited street drugs, gang membership, and violent behavior). The children will gain decision-making skills to help them avoid these pitfalls.

24-Hour Protection – Expanded Sheriff Department

Looking forward, Rob’s goal is to continue to bring service to Randolph County and expand the Sheriff’s Department to include 20 deputies. This additional manpower will enable us to provide effective 24-hour law enforcement coverage for citizens throughout Randolph County.

For Families Affected by Addiction

We will take Randolph County back and bring hope to the children who know nothing more than the unsustainable lifestyle of drug trafficking and abuse.
