The new Thurston County Sheriff is planning to make some bold moves to tackle domestic violence in the county. FOX13
With around 1,600 reports of domestic violence flooding in per year, it's just one of the challenges the state's youngest sheriff will face during his next four years in office.
"I don’t even feel like I should be a deputy," said Sanders. "My trajectory as a kid was not that path. So, I felt privileged just to get to that point and to then end up being a sheriff at 29 is mind-blowing, but that’s kind of where my passion comes from." When he joined the Lacey Police Department as a Community Service Officer, he again participated in the Shop With a Cop Program, this time helping other children to shop around the holidays. He hopes to bring that program to Thurston County.
"The idea is they can go to court, they can build relationships with the victims, so there is actually a more personable interaction there," said Sanders. "So, my approach on homelessness, is, can actually be like, simplified pretty easily, nothing in law enforcement can be accomplished without a balance of compassion and enforcement, nothing," says Sanders. "If you go too far either direction, it fails. We see it over and over again. It’s set in stone. It’s not something that’s up really even for debate."
