Why Matt Elliott for Sheriff and NOT an Opponent?

  • Matt Elliott wants to stop the misuse of taxpayers' equipment for personal gain by ensuring that the Sheriff Department is properly reimbursed for the use of all uniforms, equipment and vehicles owned by the taxpayers and to stop the liability exposure and workers compensation exposure of Sheboygan County taxpayers. (See our link to Security Information on the left.)
  • Mr. Elliott wants to see better use of sheriff deputies, including deputies assigned to the Civil Process Division and to have more deputies on the road and fewer in the office.
  • Mr. Elliott does not believe in double dipping communities such as Random Lake, etc... for additional patrol service contracts at a cost of $30,000.00 per year. The taxpayers are already paying for patrol services; they should not be charged twice.
  • Mr. Elliott wants to have the department correctional staff recognized for their work by being listed as a protective class just like the Wisconsin State Correctional Officers.
  • Mr. Elliott wants the Huber System to be changed for the betterment of the city and county by having inmate work crews assigned to city and county labor/tasks, such as road clean-up crews, snow shoveling crews for the elderly and more. Inmates MUST understand that jail time is not relaxation time. These inmate crews would be supervised by the county's correctional staff.

  • Mr. Elliott wants to see the correctional officers' duties expanded in the areas of work crew supervision as well as in the area of transportation of prisoners to and from the state correctional facilities and medical facilities.
  • Mr. Elliott believes in reducing the cost of law enforcement services by combining the city and county dispatch center to a joint dispatch center
  • Mr. Elliott believes in concealed carry for law abiding citizens with the proper background checks, training and issued credentials.
  • Mr. Elliott has two Internationally Certified K-9's which will be made available to the Sheboygan County Sheriff Department, at no cost to the county should he be elected.
    • Alpha a three year old female German Shepard Red & Black certified in Narcotics Detection, Patrol Protection, Criminal Apprehension, Building Searches, Tracking missing persons or children.
    • Omega a three year old male German Shepard Red & Black certified in Explosive Detection, Patrol Protection, and Criminal Apprehension, Building Searches, Tracking missing persons or children.
