Carson City Sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Gonzales announced today that he filed to run for Sheriff of Carson City with the Carson City Elections Department.
Gonzales is running for Sheriff with the goal of increasing integrity, transparency, and accountability in the Sheriff’s Office, as well as restructuring the department to put more deputies in positions to better serve Carson City. “I understand today’s issues and have the vision to meet tomorrow’s challenges.”
“It’s important that we increase the level of service and transparency to our citizens,” said Gonzales. “I believe the Sheriff’s Office can do more for citizens with the $16 million that is provided to them, from the people of this city. The Sheriff’s Office is not evolving. We need to embrace technology to increase efficiency and the ability to reach out to citizens."
As part of his goals, Gonzales will work to eliminate what he says are redundant and unnecessary positions.
“I have already identified over $600,000 in budget funds that can be reorganized to procure more deputies out on the streets to keep our communities safe from drugs and gangs,” said Gonzales.
With these re-allocated funds, Gonzales intends to create a new detective position to focus on crimes against our children, elder abuse, elder exploitation and domestic violence. Additionally, Gonzales is dedicated to making schools safer, specifically through providing safety education to students and adding two new school resource deputies to the middle schools.
Moreover, Gonzales will expand on current programs through bolstering currently allocated resources. “I will give the employees and volunteers of this department the tools necessary to serve this great community, as it deserves,” said Gonzales.
Gonzales is an energetic member of the Carson City community, with an impressive list of service activities and is an active member of numerous community boards.
Having an extensive and broad background in local law enforcement, current education and training, a realistic agenda to improve the processes and responsibilities of the Sheriff's Office, and a commitment and love for Carson City and its citizens qualifies me as the best choice for the position.
Gonzales encourages members of the community to contact him directly at 775-220-1195 or by email at Daniel@Danielforsheriff.com.
