New Sheriff Ken Binder reflects on his first week on the job. www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/s...
County boards of supervisors are already elected and should appoint sheriffs, as city councils appoint police chiefs. Appointment allows more through vetting of operational and budgeting experience rather than donors, funding, and campaign slogans.

Everyone benefits when law enforcement is trusted, transparent and accountable.
Tasers & Excited Delirium: John Oliver. TASERS are not effective or safe: over 1,000 people killed by 2019. Misrepresentations by Axon, telling police agencies how to spin Taser deaths, pressuring coroners to change their findings. Sheriff oversight can look at TASER use. youtu.be/7Yd9nLQx3qQ
