As always, Floyd County First.
As always, Floyd County First.
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”
~Abraham Lincoln
My name is Robbie Whitfield and I am your Conservative Republican Candidate for Sheriff. I am a lifelong resident of Floyd County and a graduate of Model High School and Shorter College. I spent 27 of my 51 years of life serving the citizens of Floyd County as a Correctional and Jail Officer, a Deputy Sheriff, Training Officer, Fugitive Investigator, Fugitive Task Force Commander, Warrant Supervisor, Drug Task Force Officer, and as Warrant Captain. During this time, I have also been a member of the Rome/Floyd Swat Team for almost 20 years with the last 5 acting as team leader.
I am a member of the National Rifle Association, the Second Amendment Foundation, the Fraternal Order of Police, the Georgia Sheriff’s Association, and the Georgia Tactical Officers Association.
I am married to Kerri Whitfield and we have a nine-year-old son together. I have a step-daughter and a grown son that I am extremely proud of. I have always been a family man and worked extra jobs to provide for my family. I’ve introduced both of my sons to hunting, fishing and sports. I have missed a few sports practices over the years but never a game.
I am currently employed at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and serve Sheriff Moats as the agencies Training Officer. I am grateful to Sheriff Moats and Chief Blackmon for putting their trust in me. I have learned a lot from their leadership as well as that of the command staff.
I have always been a dependable, hardworking, honest Law Enforcement Officer who has never shirked a duty or rode a desk as a politically appointed supervisor. I chose instead to lead, support those who I led, and always do the hard, dangerous tasks without question. I seek to return Floyd County Sheriff’s Office to a place where deputies are not afraid to do their jobs, where the Constitutional duties of the Sheriff are prioritized and the Constitutional Rights of citizens are protected. Citizens safety always will be top priority.
I was raised here and currently raise my family here. Rome and Floyd County is and always has been my home.
During this campaign I will work hard to give a reason to cast your vote for me. I welcome any questions you might have about me or my plans for the Sheriff’s Office. As always, Floyd County First.
