I am a Democratic Candidate for the
Hello Citizens of Bertie County,
My name is Adrian L. Bowen, born and raised in Windsor, NC.
office of Sheriff in Bertie County.
Over the last quarter of a century our society has changed so much. Communities are now filled with
gangs, drugs, school shootings and other forms of reckless endangerment. I still believe “it takes a
village” and feel we should get back to that way of thinking. If elected sheriff, I will put together an
administrative team that will form partnerships with our community and local and state agencies.
Working together will help us better achieve a common goal of making our community safe.
As Sheriff I will implement a pro-active problem solving approach to current issues. This approach
will include members of the Bertie Sheriff's Office entering each community and having residents
voice their concerns about issues in their communities. Members will also gather information
about elderly citizens iiving in these communities so that officers can do wellness checks as a
part of their routine patrols. A blue light foundation program will also be included in the four- year
strategical plan. The blue light foundation will partner with the cadet program at Bertie County
High School to help with mentoring programs. With satellite offices located across the county,
deputies will be assigned to work out of these offices while on duty. This will serve the citizens
in two different capacities. First, it will reduce response times with Bertie County being seven
hundred forty-one square miles. Second, deputies will be more visible in each area of the county.
A Community Criminal Response Team will also be implemented. This team will consist of radar
operators, investigators, drug interdiction officers and a drug dog. The team will work closely with
local and state agencies to address current concerns such as drugs, breaks ins, drag racing, school
and church security issues. I would like to see more security implemented at court room entrances
during court- hours. Provide deputies with proper law enforcement software programs and printers
for in car computers. These are just a few things that would benefit our community.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol has afforded me the opportunity to work hand in hand with
other local, state, and federal agencies throughout our great state. Having formed great allies with
these agencies, and with my diverse training, ranging from motor vehicle law to criminal law, will
make for a more diverse sheriff’s office in dealing with today's challenges. If elected sheriff, I look
forward to working with the different communities within Bertie County and members of the Bertie
Sheriff's Office. In closing: “It’s Time For A Change”.
