The election for Burnet County Judge is about integrity, management and leadership. You have only one candidate, which is myself, Alan Trevino, that has actually been in (DPS) and currently is in law enforcement (BCSO). Versus my opponent that claims he has led law enforcement (push card) or has over a 34-year career in law enforcement (website), or has served at every level of public safety (website), when he has never held a TCOLE license or been a police officer. That’s not true and that’s not integrity. In the military that would be considered stolen valor!
I have actual law enforcement leadership and management experience. Both while with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) as the Assistant Detail Leader for Governor George W. Bush and as your current Chief Deputy for the Burnet County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO). With DPS, I lead, trained, managed and delivered a protective service to the first family of the State of Texas. Failure was not an option. What was key is, effective leadership and management. I was part of a team. It was never I; it was we. Similar to being the presiding officer of the Commissioners Court. You lead a team of 5, not a rule by 1. I will work with the commissioners to make Burnet County the best we can be. As your Chief Deputy, I have a proven record of leadership and management and I am known for building and developing relationships. I already manage half the county budget and almost half the county employees. I coordinate the needs of all divisions within the sheriff’s office in developing the budget and layout a comprehensive plan to maximize equipment and personnel needs within our proposed budget.
My opponent voted against adding 4 deputy positions to the sheriff’s office. ALL 4 elected commissioners voted in favor of adding the deputies (commissioners court). After the commissioners approved the positions in a 4-1 vote, my opponent attempted to move the new deputies to the constable offices. The funds actually came from cutting excess from other areas of the budget. He claims in his radio ad to “Support law enforcement”. Those acts are not pro law enforcement; they’re anti sheriff’s office.
