Screening – Under Sheriff La Paz County Sheriff’s Department

 

Dear Sheriff Candidate Moreno:

 

                                    I have twenty four years of Municipal Law Enforcement experience. The last six years of my career have been in Police Management and Executive Management, at the ranks of Lieutenant and Assistant Chief of Police.  During my career, I have sought out and embraced many challenging assignments.  These assignments have included Training, Youth Services, Internal Investigations, Traffic Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations.  I was assigned to a Federal Task Force working exclusively with D.E.A., F.B.I., and at times the C.I.A. I have significant experience working hand in hand with the Office of District Attorney of Los Angeles County, and the United States Attorney’s Office.  I have consistently worked diligently and promoted through the ranks of the Police Department, where I ultimately achieved the rank of Assistant Chief of Police.  I have consistently received evaluations exceeding the expectations for areas of responsibility assigned to me.  As the Assistant Chief of Police I provided executive management and oversight to the entire Police Department, consisting of 77 sworn Officers and 140 Civilian personnel encompassing Administrative, Investigative, Patrol, Traffic, Records, Communications, Jail, Animal Control, Code Enforcement, Business Licensing, and Youth Services.  I managed an annual budget of 18.4 million, in which approximately 4.4 million were from awarded grants.  I am a graduate of the West Point Leadership Academy, and I fluently speak both English and Spanish.

 

                                    I am extremely interested in your current opening for Under Sheriff of La Paz County, Arizona. I enjoy working with the community and finding solutions to complex quality of life issues.  I excelled in my career significantly because I believe in community policing, and community partnership.  I am transparent and believe in treating everyone in a fair and impartial manner.  I gain personal satisfaction by improving the quality of life for others.  I feel that the environment in La Paz County would be a perfect match for me both personally and professionally.  I was born and raised in New Mexico, in a very small community, where values are a way of life.  This is why I find this opportunity so appealing.

 

                                    In closing I want to thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my qualifications. 

 

Respectfully,

Lee J. Alirez

Meet the candidate

I hope you will join me at the Tue, Aug 14 Meet the Candidate forum

Meet the Candidates!

UPDATE: The original event had the candidates for Sheriff on August 21st; that has now been changed below as Sheriff candidates will now appear on August 14th instead.
The Parker Area Chamber of Commerce will host two Meet the Candidates events this month. The reason for two sessions is because of the large number of folks running for offices in La Paz County and those also running for state and federal representation of our area. We need to give each candidate time to state their platform and have adequate time to answer questions.
The first event will be held Tuesday, August 14th, 2012 at Blake School at 6:30 PM. This session will feature your local La Paz County candidates for the offices of Board of Supervisors, District 1; Board of Supervisors District 2; County School Superintendent; County Assessor, County Sheriff.
The second will be held Tuesday, August 21st at Parker Community Senior Center at 6:30 PM. This session will feature your local candidates for United States Senator; US Representative in Congress, District 4; State Senator, District 5; US Representative in Congress, District 5; State Representative, District 5; Corporation Commission.
At each session, the candidates will be introduced and allowed to state their platform for 3 minutes. Questions from the floor will be entertained and candidates will be given 2 minutes to respond. If there is a question for a specific candidate, that candidate will have 2 minutes to respond. Each candidate in that category will be given the opportunity to respond, as well in the time frame of 1 minute.
Questions must be relevant to the office and personal attacks will not be tolerated. The questions will be verbal from the audience. This gives credibility to the questions being asked.
Our goal is provide a fair platform for all concerned so that the community can exercise their right to vote for the candidates that fit into their own beliefs.
Unopposed candidates will not be given a verbal platform but are more than welcome to attend.
Please RSVP to (928) 669-2174 by August 9th, 2012 so that we may plan accordingly.
