“I am running for re-election as sheriff because I strongly believe in the motto, ‘Protect & Serve.’ Through the use of technology and training, the members of the sheriff’s office continually strive to make improvements as we provide a safe working environment for citizens, employees, court personnel and judges,” said Harris.

“I consider it a great honor to serve as Waynesboro City Sheriff.  Our office will continue to provide the high level of public safety that our citizens deserve.  As it has always been, my door remains open for anyone who needs the assistance of the sheriff,” Harris said.
