John Horch is supremely qualified to serve as Clark County sheriff. His array of experience is unequaled this election year.
After joining the sheriff’s office 32 years ago, he has served as a patrol deputy, detective, sergeant, in the warrants division, as a bomb technician, supervisor of internal affairs, commander of search and rescue, commander of the child justice center, commander of the major crimes division, commander of the drug task force, and commander of the CCSO precinct.
He is currently the chief criminal deputy overseeing all enforcement operations, deputies, sergeants, commanders, SWAT, internal affairs and major crimes.
He has received a Purple Heart from the state of Washington for receiving a critical injury while performing his duties as a deputy.
Early in his career, in the military, he also received the Medal of Merit.
If Clark County should experience a major emergency, we would be well served to call upon John Horch as our sheriff to direct the response.
Ann and Michael Donnelly,
