Greetings all!
Please allow me to thank all of those who have already
volunteered in many ways for our campaigns, and for the Tuesday, November 3,
2015 elections. We have much more to do
however and need many more volunteers.
Please email me at ewhitlock@lawplc.com
to volunteer. You can visit the unified
Henrico Republican campaign office: “TEAMGOP Victory Office” at 3163 Lauderdale
Drive, Henrico, Virginia 23233.
On November 3, 2015, we have important elections for our local
government (Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Board of
Supervisors and School Board) as well as our General Assembly (Senate and House
of Delegates). Today the blog will
feature Sheriff Mike Wade.
Henrico County Sheriff Michael L. Wade (“Mike”) is a
Richmond, Virginia native, who commands one of the largest sheriff’s offices in
the Commonwealth with over 361 sworn and civilian staff. Sheriff Wade was
elected on November 2, 1999.
Mike is a career law enforcement officer, having served for
twenty-two years as a member of the Henrico Division of Police before being
elected Sheriff. Joining the department in 1977, Wade began his career as a
uniformed police officer. During his
career as a police officer in one of the Commonwealth’s most densely populated
counties, Mike was an investigator focusing on crimes against property. He
later served in the highly charged Criminal Intelligence Section and later, as
the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Investigator Liaison.
When elected Sheriff, Mike left the Division of Police as a
Command Sergeant serving as the Supervisor of the School Resource and D.A.R.E.
officers for Henrico County Public Schools.
Since his election, Mike has improved retention and hiring
rates, filled more than seventy vacant Deputy slots, created a nationally
recognized drug rehab program, streamlined the Sheriff’s Office budget and
opened a public information office.
Since taking office, Mike has made an effort in several
areas to make the Henrico Sheriff’s Office more open to the public, more
efficient at the execution of its mission and more responsive to the needs of
the community.
Mike’s Sheriff Initiatives have included:
TRIAD, Seniors Program with Law Enforcement, in partnership
with the Henrico Division of Police & the Office of the Attorney General.
Project Fresh Start & Project Hope, Nationally
Recognized Inmate Drug Rehabilitation Programs
PIO, Sheriff’s Public Information Office.
Henrico needs Sheriff Mike Wade!
