A PLAN TO RESTORE LAW AND ORDER
Clear priorities. Real accountability. Safer communities.
Weston Imer’s plan to refocus the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office on public safety, victim advocacy, and results.
PUBLIC SAFETY STARTS WITH LEADERSHIP
The Sheriff sets the tone, priorities, and direction of the entire department.
Right now, Jefferson County is not seeing the level of enforcement, coordination, or accountability it deserves.
Weston Imer’s plan is simple:
Refocus the Sheriff’s Office on enforcing the law, supporting deputies, and delivering real results for the community.
Deputies are on the front lines of public safety, yet too often face unnecessary limitations that prevent proactive policing.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Remove internal barriers that limit proactive law enforcement
-
Ensure deputies have clear backing from leadership
-
Support training, tools, and staffing needed to do the job effectively
-
Foster a culture where doing the job right is expected — not discouraged
Strong leadership means trusting and supporting the people who wear the badge.
LET DEPUTIES DO THEIR JOBS
RESTORE LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERSHIPS
Public safety requires coordination across all levels of law enforcement.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Restore working relationships with federal agencies, including the FBI, ICE, DEA, and ATF
-
Ensure Jefferson County is not isolated from broader law enforcement efforts
-
Support lawful cooperation on immigration enforcement and criminal investigations
-
Prioritize joint operations targeting serious and organized crime
Criminals don’t operate within silos — law enforcement shouldn’t either.
Too many serious cases are not receiving the time and resources they require.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Prioritize the arrest of violent criminals, repeat offenders, and organized criminal activity
-
Ensure complex cases are fully investigated — not avoided
-
Measure success by outcomes, not just reports taken
-
Align investigative resources with community safety priorities
-
Refocus our department without compromising enforcement.
-
Write Fewer tickets, process all appropriate arrests.
Public safety means focusing on what matters most — not what’s easiest.
FOCUS ON REAL CRIME
PUT VICTIMS FIRST
Victims deserve communication, respect, and real follow-through.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Establish clear communication standards for all cases
-
Ensure victims receive timely updates and case transparency
-
Improve follow-through on cases involving harassment, digital crimes, and vandalism
-
Create a culture where victims are treated as a priority — not an afterthought
No victim should feel ignored or left behind.
The Jefferson County Jail must be safe, clean, and professionally managed.
Recent lawsuits and incidents highlight serious concerns that must be addressed.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Ensure the jail is clean, properly staffed, and fully operational
-
Implement strict oversight and accountability measures
-
Improve conditions for both staff and inmates
-
Reduce legal and financial liability for taxpayers
A well-run jail reflects the integrity of the entire Sheriff’s Office.
RESTORE THE JAIL
ACCOUNTABILITY & RESULTS
The Sheriff’s Office must be accountable to the public it serves.
As Sheriff, Weston will:
-
Track case outcomes — not just activity
-
Set clear performance expectations across divisions
-
Increase transparency with the public
-
Hold leadership accountable for results
Taxpayers deserve a department that produces measurable outcomes.
This campaign is not about maintaining the status quo.
It’s about restoring a Sheriff’s Office that:
-
Enforces the law consistently
-
Supports its deputies without hesitation
-
Works with law enforcement partners at every level
-
Delivers justice for victims
-
Operates with professionalism and accountability
Jefferson County deserves leadership that is willing to do the hard work.
