Sheriff Barker Announces Bid for Second Term

If a criminal commits a crime in
Forsyth County, that person should
serve lime in Forsyth County, said
Sheriff Ron Barker at last week's
news conference held to announce
his candidacy for re-election.
"If I can put criminals in
Forsyth County jatls, they will serve
time," Barker said, while highlight
ing some of the changes he will
work for in combatting crime if re
elected to a second term.
"I'm not through, yet," Barker, a
Republican, replied when asked
why he's seelcing another term. "My
goal is to take a ver^ fine depart
ment and make it the best in the
Southeast."
With a handful of supporters in
attendance, Barker also highlighted
his accomplishments, such as the
increase in the number of officers
per shift - from 11 to 14 - without
increasing personnel. And, he spoke
prpudly of the fecord number of
drug- related arrests the department
has made - 560 from Jan. 199) to
Jan. 12, 1994. 5 *
Since December 1990, drug
related forfeiture money has brought
in slightly more than SI million,
Barker said. That does not include
equipment, such as cars, radios and
guns.
Barker said that when convicts
are sent off to do lime in state pris
ons, they end up not doing all their
sentences because of prison over
crowding. A person sentenced to
two years could end up doing only
1 1 days, he said.
The new Forsyth County Jail,
scheduled for completion later this
year, will be large enough to accom
modate those prisoners now being
sent to state prisons, Barker said.
The state could pay the county
to house the prisoners, and Barker
said that the change "will definitely
bring in revenue." He estimated that
housing those who commit crimes
in the county will bring in SI mil
lion a year and could pay for itself
in 10 years.
Barker said that he was able to
increase the number of officers on
patrol and the number of narcotic
officers - from 5 to 11 - by using
reserve officers and officers from
other areas of the department.
Barker also spoke proudly of
the drug check points. "Each check
point has shown people that we do
mean business," he said.
In addition to seeking ways to
imprison those in the county who
commit crime in the county, Barker
would also like to hire four officers
to find fathers who have neglected
r their obligations and would like
money to investigate flea markets
and pawn shops for stolen goods.
