Priorities
-
When communication and cooperation break down, everyone loses.
Aaron has seen what happens when agencies stop working together, and he’s committed to equipping the Sheriff’s Office with tools and strategies to prevent dysfunction and solve problems fast, even when disagreements happen.
As Sheriff, Aaron will also continue to protect constitutional rights in every decision and action of the office.
-
Davis County needs to recruit and retain the best people, and that starts with leadership.
Having managed about 250 employees in his career, Aaron has seen the sacrifice deputies make firsthand. He believes the Sheriff’s Office should support employees with the training, resources, and culture they need to succeed and stay healthy throughout their careers.
He will focus on retention, recruitment, and professional development because strong teams keep communities safe.
-
Public safety matters. So does respecting taxpayers.
Aaron has managed budgets up to $50 million, consistently seeking savings, evaluating contracts, adjusting service fees responsibly, and finding alternative funding sources like grants.
As Sheriff, he will pursue fiscal accountability and transparency, and continue improving efficiency through process improvement and LEAN principles.
-
A safe county depends on trust and partnership between the public and law enforcement.
Aaron believes community-oriented policing is a real problem-solving model where residents and law enforcement work together to prevent crime and respond effectively.
He’s committed to building relationships, listening to concerns, and keeping Davis County safe through teamwork and communication.
-
Aaron has firsthand experience investigating narcotics and organized criminal activity, and he understands how dangerous offenders can cycle back into the community when systems fail.
Aaron supports the position that Utah law enforcement should not conduct “sweeps or raids.”
At the same time, he supports increased cooperation with federal partners to identify and process individuals already in custody on criminal charges, with public safety as the priority.
