These are what Sheriff Esco Jarnagin promised the citizens of Hamblen County when he was elected in 2006. These were not just words spoken, but promises kept to the people who elected Esco Jarnagin. Sheriff Jarnagin's opponent would have you to believe that the high turnover rate at HCSD is indicative of lack of leadership. In fact, it's the opposite. Someone made a quote at our last HCRW meeting. It went something like this, "Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs before you get an omelet." I like this quote. Sheriff Jarnagin has kept his promise to provide Hamblen County with accountability and transparency under his administration by not tolerating waste or corruption. Esco Jarnagin is the best qualified candidate to continue to serve as our Sheriff. His qualifications listed on the side bar of my blog are not requirements to maintain his position. Esco Jarnagin is a graduate of ETSU with a degree in Criminal Justice. Putting himself through college and raising a family while working full time shows the commitment and love he has for law enforcement. Sheriff Jarnagin is committed to Hamblen County because he loves his community and wants to see our children educated and raised in a safe environment. By the way, I need to change the Accomplishments post to read, 30 METH LABS BUSTED TO DATE. Kudos to the officers at HCSD for working together to keep these folks out of our neighborhoods and behind bars! Sheriff Jarnagin has made progress within the Hamblen County Sheriff's Department! Let's work together to make sure this progress continues for the betterment of Hamblen County! GET OUT AND VOTE!! LET'S GO WITH ESCO AGAIN!
