VOTE BILLY KENNEDY
FOR
FANNIN COUNTY SHERIFF

I Am YOUR Candidate For Fannin County Sheriff.

My name is Billy Kennedy and I am announcing my intent to run for the office of Fannin County Sheriff. I was born and raised in Collin County (McKinney/Melissa) and moved to Fannin County in April 1988. I have 5 wonderful kids (3 boys and 2 girls).

I graduated the Texoma Regional Police Academy in November 1996. I became employed with the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office in January 1997 and resigned in April 1999. After raising my kids, I was able to return to what I love doing and that’s serving my community. I had the opportunity to return to the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office in 2012. I worked my way to becoming a Patrol Sergeant and then to Sergeant in the Criminal Investigations Division. During my time as a Criminal Investigator, I investigated many different offenses including but not limited to; Assaults, Aggravated Assaults, Sexual Assaults, Sexual Assaults of Children, Aggravated Robberies, Thefts, Burglaries, and Shootings, to name a few.

I have conducted many interviews and obtained many confessions to assist our Justice System in the prosecution process. My greatest achievement was obtaining confessions on multiple sex offenders of children. I also investigated large theft rings where over $300k worth of property was recovered and returned to the victims and other agencies. In March 2017, I resigned and went to work with the Bonham Police Department where I am currently employed.

My mission is to provide professional law enforcement services to the citizens and visitors of Fannin County, to protect life and property, and to provide a safe, secure, and humane incarceration of inmates.

No law enforcement agency can operate at its maximum potential without supportive input from the citizens it serves. If elected, my office will actively solicit and encourage the cooperation of all citizens to reduce criminal activity and, within legal limits, to assist in bringing to justice those that prey on the person and property of others.

I promise a new philosophy for the office and changes that would enhance county law enforcement services to you, thus enforcing the law in a fair and impartial manner to prevent and deter crime and ensuring that the employees of the Sheriff’s Office would receive the best training available in order to provide the best service to the citizens of Fannin County.

I will work hard to reduce major crime in Fannin County. I will help the narcotics division to attack local drug issues and to assist in the deterrence of crime. I will fight to put more marked units on county roads and highways. I will work with local agencies to initiate a SRT/Negotiations Unit for Fannin County. I will work closely with CAC to keep our children safe by giving my deputies the training they need to seek the potential dangers of our children.

I will work hard to keep Fannin County safe by making public safety my number one priority. I will earn your trust and confidence in the Sheriff’s Office. I am dedicated to keeping the citizens of Fannin County safe and secure during tough economic times. I will work closely with the commissioners court in maintaining budgets that ensure every dollar spent by the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office is necessary and will yield results to enhance the safety and security of the taxpayers.

It is my hope that I will better your understanding of my responsibilities to this community and to the success of a system which affects all of our lives.

Thank you, I pray and ask for your support and your vote.
