A press release from the Bill Prim for Sheriff campaign:
BILL PRIM FOR SHERIFF, SAYS McHENRY COUNTY SPORTSMEN’S ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT
July 23, 2013 – To my neighbors, fellow residents of Richmond, and McHenry County:
Experience, transparency and upholding the rights of citizens are among the reasons I am backing law enforcement veteran Bill Prim in the race for the McHenry County Sheriff seat.
Matt Meyer testifies against the gun control ordinance considered in Richmond.
As president of the McHenry County Sportsmen’s Association, which is dedicated to promoting awareness of outdoor shooting types of sports, and wildlife and conservation laws, I believe Prim of Cary would be highly effective serving the residents of the county.
I, along with the Sportsmen’s Association encourage all types of outdoor sports, such as fishing, archery and hunting, while promoting education and safety of all shooting-related sports. And, upholding the Second Amendment to “our” Bill of Rights has always been of utmost importance – a right that Prim values.
At the same time, he is highly skilled, having the experience and leadership McHenry County needs.
His 27-years as a suburban police officer and commander, and participation in numerous law enforcement task forces includes ones beneficial to our youth like helping to get rid of drugs, and gangs.
Prim, among other roles, was a dedicated gang crimes specialist on the Northwest Suburban Gang Task Force, and served on multi-jurisdictional narcotic and money laundering investigations on state and federal levels.
With that said, I saw first hand how Prim gave his time this summer talking to youth and their parents during the training class, Youth Introduction to Air Rifles – an association event that he co-sponsored.
His community involvement goes beyond that and speaks volumes of his character – something that should not be lost in this race.
My endorsement, in part, is based on Prim’s commitment to making neighborhoods and schools a better, safer place, while encouraging community involvement with new volunteer programs, and implementing new crime prevention strategies.
It’s a grass-roots initiative – one that can’t be beat.
I strongly encourage you to vote for Republican candidate, Bill Prim for McHenry County Sheriff in next year’s primary election in March.
Sincerely,
Matt Meyer – President, McHenry County Sportsmen’s Association
The following paragraphs are paramount to the future of McHenry County Law Enforcement.
Although Mr. Zinke may have experience only within the walls of McHenry County, Mr. Prim on the other hand has VAST experience in the following as mentioned by Mr. Meyer.
“Prim, among other roles, was a dedicated gang crimes specialist on the Northwest Suburban Gang Task Force, and served on multi-jurisdictional narcotic and money laundering investigations on state and federal levels”
Mr. Prim has vast experience working on Federal Cases involving “Money Laundering.”
Mr. Prim has vast knowledge in taking illicit assets and turning them into ‘cash’ under forfeiture laws. In turn, these money’s can then be put back into the department to purchase more and up to date equipment for our fine men and women who wear the uniform of a McHenry County Deputy Sheriff.
In short terms, Mr. Prim can turn trash into treasure without attacking the tax payers pocket books.
This is an issue I hope all voters of McHenry County can see is extremely valuable. Spread the word on this topic to all those at the office and within your social circles.
The NW Herald certainly isn’t going to spread the word on Commander Prim’s behalf. We are put a small group of blog readers, we need to help Mr. Prim, help us.
Thank you.
David Bachmann
I understand that Prim got an award from the US Customs for his excellent work on the drug issue.
Hands on REAL experience.
