This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are 100's more cases pending. Victims need to be helped. Suspects need to be held accountable. Pierce County could go bankrupt. This is a terrible situation. https://t.co/Uuws2TQqFu

At the time of the abuse, the victims were 10, 12, 13 or 14, according to the claims.

Since I became sheriff on 1/1/2025, I have had to fire several people who were hired during the previous administration. We are reviewing their hiring practices. We will report out after the independent investigation is completed. https://t.co/BnahWzqZNW

Today is the last time for Breakfast with the Sheriff (Pine Cone Cafe in UP). Because my haters protest out in front of the restaurants, it's hard to find any to host. Now they won't get to argue with me one on one. If you want to host a BWTS, let me know. Hope to see you today.

In an attempt to stop human trafficking (prostitution) Seattle PD is sending letters to registered car owners seen "soliciting". Do you support this? What if it is a legitimate outreach person or group? https://t.co/yl4uNkXA2P

People keep telling me, "they" cheated in the election. I'm a cop. Who are "they"? What did "they" do? Do you have some evidence "they" cheated? Incompetence is not evidence of a crime.

On 8/30/25 I told you Wilson would beat Harrell. My next predictions: crime will rise, prosecutions will decrease, and she will fire the current police chief within a year.

Pathetic turnout, pathetic campaigns, pathetic excuses= less freedom, more crime and disorder, a sheriff "qualifications" bill (in Olympia) to get rid of sheriffs like me, an appointed sheriff in Pierce County and less cops on the street. I did my part. Did you?

I remember this. I helped search for her. I’m glad her murderer has been identified and arrested. I hope this can bring some closure for her family.

As usual, the TNT is lying. My salary is $196,294.28/year. That might seem like a lot of money, but the position is severely underpaid. We are by far the largest agency in Pierce County. Tacoma Chief: $326,934. Puyallup Chief: $250,000. https://t.co/5j1o6EXbhD
