Luis Espinoza for Sheriff

My name is Luis Espinoza. I am a Staff Sergeant in the Army National Guard, where I have served for the past 14 years and completed the Advanced Leaders Course (ALC). In my civilian career, I have served as a School Resource Officer (SRO), a Detention Officer, and a Deputy Sheriff in Montana. I am also active-shooter trained and certified.

My heart has always been in public service and responsible resource management. I believe a Sheriff’s Office must be fiscally responsible with its budget and deliver the high-quality services the public pays for. As your Sheriff, I promise to keep responsibility and accountability at the forefront of this department by leading with respect and applying the law fairly and impartially.

My Key Commitments to Our County:

Strategic Patrols & Traffic Safety: I will divide the county into three operational sectors—North, Central, and South. We will reinforce patrol presence and implement modern tactics to address traffic congestion and safety in the northern part of the county.
School Safety & Anti-Bullying: We will launch a comprehensive anti-bullying initiative in our schools, ensuring our students can focus on learning in a safe, supportive environment free from hate.
Fiscal Responsibility: All jail facilities and department equipment will undergo a full audit. We will maximize the impact of our current budget and live within our means—I will not push for another tax levy.
Advanced Officer Training: We will evaluate our current training programs and develop upgraded, realistic scenarios to ensure our personnel are proficient and prepared across all aspects of public safety.
Community Protection & Specialized Task Forces: We will actively collaborate with local, state, and federal partners to combat the drug epidemic and aggressively target human trafficking, which remains a growing crisis in our state.
