An Open Letter from Lexington’s Retired Law Enforcement Leaders To the Voters of Lexington County – As concerned citizens and retired law enforcement officers who live in Lexington, we feel we must do everything in our power to make sure we have a Sheriff we can trust – one who will do everything he can to fairly enforce the law, keep our government officials honest, and make our communities safer. That’s why we have come together to support Jay Koon for Sheriff. Jay Koon is dedicated to building community connections and over a 21-year career has established relationships with local, state, and national law enforcement agencies. As our next sheriff, we know Jay will pursue justice while treating everyone fairly and focus on community oriented policing. He will ensure the department continues to be on the forefront of law enforcement while guaranteeing accountability to taxpayers, and cutting response times. Jay Koon is the only candidate with the experience and qualifications to step in and lead the department from day one. We hope you’ll join us in voting Jay Koon for Sheriff on March 3rd. Sincerely, H Dodge Fredrick, South Carolina Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Ret. H Steve Smith, Assistant Director of SLED, Ret. H Chief Fred Sons, South Carolina Department of Mental Health DPS, Ret.
