SCOTT WALTON
For
Sheriff
Rogers County

 

Terry Laflin has endorsed the Scott Walton campaign for the sheriff's seat of Rogers County.  Laflin has experienced working with Walton on numerous occasions while serving as a police officer with the Owasso Police Department.

"Scott really shows the spirit of Rogers County and, like Rogers himself, Scott is someone who doesn't find many people he doesn't like and he's someone who's genuinely interested and concerned about the people he serves," Laflin said.

Laflin began his fifteen-year career in law enforcement with the Owasso Police Department.  He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and served as a detective with the agency.  In 1992, Laflin graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy and returned to the Owasso P.D. with a new rank of Assistant Chief.

Laflin also earned a certification as an assessor for the prestigious CALEA organization.  CALEA, an acronym for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies is a benchmark of professionalism and, in order for law enforcement agencies to become accredited by the organization, the agency must demonstrate the utmost of professionalism in police work.  Accreditation by CALEA is known as the primary method for an agency to demonstrate their commitment to excellence in law enforcement.

Laflin retired from law enforcement and began operating his own private investigation firm in the Tulsa area but also continued his CALEA work, becoming a consultant for the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office when the TCSO was seeking accreditation by CALEA.  Tulsa County Sheriff's Office was successful in the pursuit of accreditation and is now a proud member agency of CALEA.

"Scott is honest and he's always there when you need him," Laflin said.  "I'm proud to know him and glad that Rogers County has the chance to elect such a good man."
