JOIN US IN BUILDING A
SAFER GWINNETT
PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT.
"
We made history in 2020. I made you a promise: To adopt a forward-thinking leadership model for law enforcement that embraces our changing demographics, that's effective, and safer for all.
In the past four years, we have established specialized units dedicated to community outreach, human trafficking, gangs, and mental health. We have broadened our re-intervention programs to address recidivism, introduced advanced training initiatives, and redeveloped our detention facility emergency response team.
We've made significant progress and there is more to accomplish. It has been my honor to serve Gwinnett County as your Sheriff.
I'm running for re-election, and I'd appreciate your support.

PRIORITIES
STRENGTHENING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
The Mental Health Task Force was established to ensure access to adequate resources for the residents of Gwinnett County. We implemented valuable techniques for crisis intervention, de-escalation, and healthcare in and outside of our detention facility. Our first responding deputies successfully completed hundreds of community calls which resulted in zero arrests. As your Sheriff, I am committed to advocating for improved mental health care at every stage of our justice system.
COMBATING EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE
Our commitment to the safety of our community was prioritized through the redevelopment of an emergency response team and modernized equipment, protective gear, and advanced training provided to our deputies. As your Sheriff, my primary objectives are to ensure the impartial service and protection of all residents of Gwinnett County, to mitigate harm, and to combat any instances of excessive use of force in our detention facility.
STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY TRUST
The Community Outreach Unit was created to advance economic opportunity and form local partnerships. We successfully distributed thousands of backpacks and food items during annual community events. We fostered connections with faith groups, business leaders, and neighborhoods to promote unity. As your Sheriff, I will continue to invest time and resources toward restoring trust in law enforcement and building meaningful interactions with the residents of Gwinnett County.
IMPLEMENTING GANG AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING UNITS
The termination of 287(G) prompted the reallocation of resources to create Gang and Human Trafficking units that combat organized crime and protect our most vulnerable citizens. We will continue to strive to fulfill our responsibility of safeguarding you, your family, and our community by targeting human trafficking and child exploitation. As your Sheriff, it is imperative that we break the cycle, eradicate predators, and provide a secure environment for our children to thrive in.
IMPROVING RECIDIVISM RATES
I remain committed to the improvement of recidivism in Gwinnett County. We will continue to strategize the effective expansion of inmate rehabilitation, educational programs, trade programs, and professional development opportunities to improve recidivism for our detention facility. As your Sheriff, I aim to secure the well-being of our inmates, ensuring they have access to necessary resources, services, and tools to become productive members of society upon their re-entry.
MEET KEYBO
FAITH. FAMILY. COMMUNITY.
In 2020, I was elected Sheriff. History was made, but this road was never about making history. It's about making a lasting difference.
I was born and raised in Gwinnett. I grew up in the Sally Craig Apartments where I was raised by my aunt, a single woman who worked hard to make sure I had everything I needed and most of what I wanted.
I played football and had a number of positive role models, including Chief Dan Meeks who frequented our neighborhood and built trust with all the kids. He was respected a great deal.
Back then, I never anticipated I’d pursue a career in law enforcement. However, this path has become my means of reciprocating the support from my community. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in this capacity.
Being Sheriff is a humbling honor. But my most cherished titles will always be: Dad, Papa, and Coach.
