E mail After the primary, I was contactepatagonia better sweater 20133d patagonia better sweater 20131by several Lake County Board members who sapatagonia guidewater duffel reviewid the department runs better when there is an undersheriff, Patt said. The office needs it, so I decidedbest fly fishing in patagonia to change my mind.
Republican incumbent sheriff Mark Curran, 51, of Libertyville, said Patt s reversal shows his lack of managemenpatagonia houdini 2013 reviewt skills and experience.
I understand that I m the best sheriff when I operate from a perspective of humility, Curran said in explaining why an undersheriff is needed. I operate best when I recognize there are people with greater knowledge than me in many areas, and I surround myself with people that understand law enforcement.
Patt currently works as an investigator with the Lake County Coroner s Office. Curran is a former attorney who was elected sheriff in 2006.
The sheriff s office has more than 600 employees, all overseen by the sheriff, the undersheriff, three command chiefs, and five command deputy chiefs. The chiefs report tpatagonia better sweater 2013o the undersheriff, Curran said, and thpatagonia better sweater 20130e undersheriff reports to him.

There are a lot of demands on the sheriff outside of the office, he said, Ultimately, people expect to see the sheriff in the community, but it s hard to be in the community and manage the everyday demands at the office.
Curran said he woupatagonia everlong review 870ld reappoint Rose as his undersheriff if he is re elected sheriff in November.
There is no one I could choose that has close to the same qualifications as Ray does, he said. He has an unbelievably strong ethical compass, he s been in this business for ovpatagonia guide jacket 64er 45 years, and has so much knowledge in the way a law enforcement agency should run. He s the logical choice.
Patt said he initially felt he could promote a deputy chief to a command chief, and promote a command chief to the chief deputy and that individual would handle the duties of undersheriff.
