(Endwell, NY) David E. Harder tonight formally
announced his candidacy for re-election as Broome County Sheriff.
Sheriff Harder made the announcement before a crowd of
approximately 100 supporters at Brothers Two Restaurant in Endwell.
“The Sheriff’s Office has come a long way since I took
office in January 1999,” said Sheriff Harder. “When I took over, we didn’t even
have computers in the office. Now we have mobile computers in every vehicle and
are developing a new mobile app to give the public important information right
in the palms of their hands on their smartphones.”
Aside from discussing technology improvements that
help make the Sheriff’s Office work smarter and more efficiently, Sheriff Harder
shared information about keeping the public safe during the floods of 2006 and
2011, increasing standards at the Sheriff’s Office, and investigating and
solving challenging and sometimes disturbing crimes.
“I get out of bed every morning because I want to help
people. And I’m not done helping yet,” Harder added. “I look forward to earning
your vote again this fall so we can keep doing our best to make Broome County
the safest place it can be.”
Following a decades-long decorated career in law
enforcement, Harder was first elected Sheriff in 1998, and subsequently won
re-election in 2002, 2006 and 2010.
He lives in Conklin with his wife, Linda, and will run
again as a Republican this year.
