Local politician/law enforcement official. While there is plenty of local coverage, fails WP:POLITICIAN.

The only major contributor to this article is a WP:SPA ,, who is likely someone with a connection to the Sheriff since it reads like an election brochure. The Dissident Aggressor 14:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia does not extend an automatic presumption of notability to all county sheriffs just because they exist — to get such a person into Wikipedia, you need to be able to write and reliably source an article substantive enough to demonstrate that they're more than locally notable, for more than the mere fact of being a sheriff. But nothing that's been written or sourced here does that. Bearcat (talk) 22:43, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Doesn't head an especially significant organisation. Floyd County Police Department (which handles actual law enforcement) only has 79 officers. I can't imagine the Sheriff's Office has many more. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:54, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
