Transparency and restoration of confidence
I talked with Danny Griffin tonight and asked him why he chose to talk with Mr. Ward about serving as #2 before he was even elected. He said that because of the community's confidence in Mr. Ward's integrity and abilities, he felt it was a plus to include him in their campaign. "It's absolutely the number one priority of my campaign that we regain the public's confidence in the Sheriff's department," Griffin said. "We have to have total transparency in the office, and we both agree that this is a critical focus." Mr. Griffin expressed confidence that Mr. Ward could help him achieve that -- if Griffin were elected.

Danny Griffin will be at the Democratic Headquarters on October 23rd from 3-7 p.m. and October 28 from 3-7 p.m to answer questions and to meet with voters. Drop by 5430 Hwy 98 West and shake hands with Danny before you vote.
Might be a good move for Mr. Griffith to come here himself and make his pronouncement.
I thought you knew all the ends and outs of Dannys election ??? Seems like he left ya in the dark on announcing his number 2.... No offense..
Please think before you vote
Adkinson is NOT getting my vote. I don't trust the man for one minute.
He picks the calls he send the officers out on and never follows up.
and if you question him about he says. Just because you did not see us did not mean we did not answer the call. WHAT !!! If I call I am looking for you.
But who cares if homeless people are sleeping around empty houses near the lake yard. That will not get Adkinson's name in the paper.
There was not bad blood with county and the city till good Old Adkinson came to town. Do you see what he and his family were doing? Laying the Lies to help him get elected. Just like in the city election. Johnny was FOUND NOT GUILT of the entire thing Adkinson lied about. Just to get elected. I hope Johnny Sues him for the lies he told. Adkinson has a KNOW it all attitude.
So People Think long and hard before you vote. Find out if people in the city trust Mike. Also ask if the are related to him. If they like him.
I also Trust Dennis and he did a GREAT job for the City.
Good Luck Danny

Let me introduce myself
[quote] Might be a good move for Mr. Griffith to come here himself and make his pronouncement. [/quote]
My name is Danny Griffith and as most of you know, I am running for the office of Walton County Sheriff. I was born and raised in Walton County. I graduated from Walton Senior High School where I met my wife of 34 years, Gerry Griffith. We have two daughters, one son-in law and three grandchildren.
I left Walton County in 1977 to embark upon my law enforcement career with the Florida Highway Patrol. I have over 30 years of law enforcement experience with the last 16 years in Walton County. Although I have had the opportunity to work in several counties throughout the State of Florida, my desire was always to make it back to my roots.
During my career, I have had extensive training in various areas of the law. I was an instructor with Okaloosa Walton College for over ten years in the criminal justice program. In addition, I am a Field Training Officer, responsible for providing continuous and extensive training, supervision, management and assistance to new officers entering the force. I was also a Florida Highway Patrol Auxiliary Instructor. I have also received a life saving commendation. My wife and myself co-owned a business in Fort Walton Beach for 22 years.
I am currently running for the Office of Sheriff because I believe the people of Walton County need a sheriff they can depend on, who can efficiently and effectively enforce the law, bring professionalsim and integrity back to the department, be accountable and available to the people, work in cooperation with other agencies and make Walton County a safer place to work and live. Walton County has an enviroment conducive to values that are important to raising a family and I would also like to see that environment continue to grow in this fast-paced world in which we live.
I believe the Walton County Sheriff's Office must strive to continuously improve its services to meet the demands of this rapidly expanding county. I see public safety as a partnership between the community, citzens and the Walton County Sheriff's Office. It is only through this vital realtionship that crime can be reduced and the needs of the public can be met. I am not going to make a lot of promises in an effort to get your vote. As we all know, most of those promises cannot be kept. But, I will tell you that my goal is to give you a Sheriff you can count on and a department you can trust. In my personal life, I pride myself on treating people honesty and fairly. If elected, I promise to do my best to see that the Walton County Sheriff's Office, as a whole, creates an honest and respectful environment for the citizens of this
county.
I am not seeking this postion to boost my ego, but instead to be a Sheriff, who will listen to your needs, respect your ideas, and protect all of the people in this county with professionalism and integrity. I am looking forward to the opportunity to speak with and meet new individuals during this campaign. If you have any questions or comments, I can be reached at griffith4sheriff@gdsys.net or by phone at 850 892-3415. Thank you for your
time and consideration of Danny Griffith for Sheriff of Walton County.

Questions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for posting this message, I for one appreciate your attention to sowal. I have bold faced your piece above and I sincerely appreciate your service as a law enforcement officer. Thank you.
With that said, moving on to the political front, I do have two questions to ask you on this forum. First, do you have any experience handling public finances? If yes, can you please provide an example of this.
Second, do you support the members of WCSO entering into a formal representation agreement, prior to the new term Sheriff's election and that elected official taking office (Jan. 09), with the Florida PBA? If so, why?
Thank you for your time, best of luck in the campaign.
