A 30 year veteran law enforcement officer, Eddie Moore, officially filed his candidacy for Sheriff on Wednesday, increasing the field of candidates to four.
A statement from Moore’s campaign team read, “Eddie Moore, M.Ed. and friends completed paperwork to enter the race for Hamilton County Sheriff. Eddie has been a deputy for the county law enforcement agency since July of 1987 and currently serves as a Lieutenant in the patrol division. His vast experience has been represented not only through time, but also in the variety of positions he has been entrusted. This, combined with his academic studies in organizational leadership, provides him with the leadership perspective other candidates don’t exhibit. This enables him to be able to lead the agency and community in the changes coming and needed to stay ahead of crime and safety issues facing ALL Hamilton County residents, visitors and businesses.”
