Think of this all too familiar situation....

 

It’s a quiet Saturday afternoon. The Kenton County Sheriff is driving past your child’s school when shots suddenly ring out from inside.

Chaos erupts—kids screaming, parents panicking on the phone.

 

Who do you want stepping out of that patrol car: a businessman who’s read leadership books, or a battle-tested law enforcement officer who’s trained for active shooters, knows incident command, and how to clear rooms under fire?

Experience doesn’t wait for a committee meeting.

Who do you choose? I choose Larry Shelton!
