Cody Black

First, I want everyone to know I don't have a vote in this fight because unfortunately I don't live in Beaver County. Having said that, I have been in law enforcement for 13 years in a neighboring county. I have held positions that have put me in a position to directly work with Beaver County and Sheriff Black.

Being a second generation police officer I have never seen a greater "working" sheriff than Sheriff Black. I have watched him first hand being directly involved taking people into custody, working side by side with his deputies and not afraid to get into the middle of a bad call with his guys and myself.

Having seen and been around all kinds of leadership, I would want no one more to be my sheriff than Sheriff Black. I don't know all the small town politics, but what I can tell the residents of Beaver County, is that they have an amazing leader amongst the men and women of your law enforcement. Beaver County is a safer place with him being your sheriff.

I can also say with a fact that he cares deeply for all residents of Beaver County — those with him and those against him. I love this man and am grateful to have the chance to work with him as much as I have. I respect him even more that he has kept quiet through this race so far, until his family and things outside of being a Sheriff were being attacked.

Beaver County you are lucky to have Cody as your sheriff. I absolutely endorse him and support him in this role.

I have worked with Sheriff Black for the past 24 years, beginning as fellow deputies in neighboring counties. At the time of my retirement, Cody was serving as the Sheriff of Beaver County, while I held the position of Task Force Commander for the Iron, Garfield, and Beaver Narcotics Task Force. During that time, I had the privilege of working alongside what I believe to be some of the state's top law enforcement leaders.

One of the things that impressed me most about Cody was his hands-on approach to leadership. As Undersheriff, he was always actively involved in addressing issues within Beaver County, and that commitment never changed after he became Sheriff.

It was not uncommon to receive a call from Sheriff Black at 1:00 a.m. while he was actively dealing with a serious issue. He was never looking to put problems off or pass them on to someone else — he was focused on addressing them head-on and bringing in the necessary resources to get the job done. Having leadership like that in a community is invaluable.

I had the opportunity to work cases that began in Beaver County and resulted in arrests across multiple counties in Utah, as well as in Nevada and California. Sheriff Black never focused solely on the immediate issue; he always looked at the bigger picture. More importantly, he remained involved from start to finish.

I am proud to call Sheriff Black both a trusted colleague and friend. I would be honored to endorse Sheriff Black for re-election.

It is with great pleasure that I offer this letter of support for your re-election campaign as the Sheriff of Beaver County. As I recall some of our countless professional encounters — both while I was a Chief at Unified Police Department, and later as Director of a human trafficking focused NGO — your professionalism, resolve, and results for first your community, and the state as a whole, have always been impressive and appreciated.

Whether we were administering assistance across many counties to apprehend a dangerous fugitive, or through your tireless work protecting our most vulnerable population, please know your actions are both noticed and appreciated.

During such volatile times, and especially with such a divisive political moment in history, it is imperative to have experienced and steadfast leadership at the helm of the Sheriff's Office. Your decades of professionalism and service in both law enforcement and corrections unquestionably makes you the right candidate at the right time.
