When you see a white guy at three in the morning on your beat in an alley, you kind of - "What's this guy doing here?"

It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.

I don't rely on the media. I usually average one speech a day for 25 years. People know me because I'm out there.

I even used to stop vehicles going through stop signs, even though I was walking.

But believe me, there's a lot I'd like to say - but I don't think the time is right now.

I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.
