Candidate for Maricopa County Sheriff, Tyler Kamp, joined Troy
Hayden on local NBC affiliate 12 News to discuss his qualifications
for the Sheriff’s office, lay out his vision, and make the case for
why Maricopa County cannot afford to go backwards.
Asked by Hayden why he’s running and why voters should support
him, Kamp answered, “I've always been a person who wants to serve a
purpose greater than myself. I think the need is obvious. We have
seen what's happened in the past with discrimination of people of
color, violating people's rights, which has cost the county close
to $300 million and it continues to grow. So I think we know
there's a need for a good quality sheriff. I worked for the Phoenix
Police Department for over two decades. Over half that time I spent
investigating organized crime, criminal street gangs, homicide,
cold case homicides. I have 10 years of leadership, public safety,
and leadership experience.”
Hayden followed up with questions surrounding MCSO’s staffing
shortages and the infamous court orders that began during the Joe
Arpaio-Jerry Sheridan administration.
Kamp laid out his plan for the future, stressing what his vision
is once the Sheriff’s Office graduates from the court order, “I'm
going to work with the Board of Supervisors to create a pay scale
system that's merit-based, that's similar to other law enforcement
agencies in the valley. I'm gonna create a walk-in wellness clinic
that will meet not just their [employees’] physical needs, but
their mental needs. I think we have to ensure justice for all. We
have to keep politics out of public safety. When I talk to people
across the county, they don't want politics involved because it can
corrupt public safety. And we have to make sure that everybody
knows we have justice for all equally, no matter who you are, where
you come from.”
