I would like to take this opportunity to announce to the citizens of Fannin County that I will be seeking re-election as your Sheriff in the upcoming 2016 election. I began my first term as your Sheriff in January 2009 and from day 1 it has been my goal to satisfy the needs of Fannin County by providing accountability, quality and professionalism unsurpassed in the field of law enforcement with minimal financial burden to the taxpayers.

Early in my first term I started building a solid foundation to grow from and one of the first things I had to accomplish was to surround myself with dedicated individuals who have a true passion for making Fannin County a safer place to live. I am proud to say that I have met that goal and I am very fortunate to have highly qualified and dedicated officers that have my back on a daily basis. Today, almost 8 years later, I am very comfortable standing on the foundation that we’ve built, the state of our Sheriff’s office and the progress that we have made and continue to make.

As things continue to change, it will be even more important to have an experienced professional serving as your sheriff to deal appropriately with the challenges that we will face. I feel that my 25 years of experience in law enforcement with 7 of those years serving as your Sheriff make me even more capable to handle the tough situations and problems that will continue to surface. It is my privilege to serve the citizens of Fannin County and I can say without a doubt that working everyday as your Sheriff is the most gratifying and fulfilling experience I have ever had.

I am honored that you have placed your confidence in me and it is my hope that you will continue to support my efforts. Please feel free to contact me day or night with any questions or concerns you might have. My cell number is 706-633-8269. I would like to extend my appreciation to each one of you for your past support and ask for your continued support and vote in the General Primary Election to be held on May 24th 2016.

Respectfully,
Sheriff Dane Kirby
