Imay not often talk about
how much you mean to me.
How dear you will always be
and how much I love each
and everyone for the pray-
ers, cards, flowers and food
you sent to me and your
visits. Without you I would
have never made it. Above
all my Lord was with me all
the way. I thank him and all
of you from the bottom of my
heart. I love you all. *

Elect JERRY GAINES, Sheriff of Carson County
As your sheriff my primary goal will be to establish fast and
expert police response to every segment of the County both day and
night. Is this goa possible in light of necessary budgetary restraints?
Yes- .
In a County as lightly populated as ours we must rely to a certain
extent on a large, well trained reserve system. I plan to recruit the
personnel and to build a model system. Each prospect will be
thoroughly screened: We have a number of citizens already fully
certified as police officers by the State of Texas. Those not certified
will attend school one night per week for one year. At years end, they
will be certified. They will work and ride with a certified officer until
they receive certification. Reserve officers will provide coverage at
those times when salaried deputies are unavallab e, due to scheduled
days off, vacation, sickness, etc. Police cars will be manned and ready
at all times to patrol and respond to your calls anywhere in the
county.
There is absolutely no deterrent value in a police car parked in
someones driveway. I can accomplish this goal but only with the help
of every citizen of this county. This help must be in the form of your
votes in the Democratic Primary on Super Tuesday, March 8th, 1988.
Vote for Jerry Gaines for Sheriff. Together we will take care of
business.
