Sheriff Todd Garrison was selected in 2005 by the County Commission to serve until Dec. 31, 2006.
	He was elected to the post by the voters in both the 2006 and 2010 General Elections, and is now serving a four-year term that will expire Dec. 31, 2014. He presides over a department whose accomplishments include:

two grants adding 20 deputies to the field at minimal cost
forty new vehicles, ten of which were purchased through a seized-asset fund at no cost to the taxpayers
six new all-terrain vehicles for community policing efforts in desert areas
after-school programs in Chaparral and Anthony by which at-risk youth are introduced to productive, structured activities designed to keep them away from gangs
grant funding of more than $804,000 aimed at everything from DWI prevention to child-safety seat enforcement
a school resource officer in the Gadsden Independent School District
a complete reclassification of job titles and salaries that will stem turnover and allow us to retain our best deputies and administrators
an aggressive drug interdiction program with four additional K-9 units, bringing our total to five.
a new standardized promotion process utilizing an Assessment Board on which law enforcement officers and private citizens sit to determine the rankings for future promotions.
successful closure on four of the county's five homicide cases, and an increase in closure resulting in arrests of cases related to other major crimes.
