Elect Jeff Stanley for Sheriff

I am Jeff Stanley, and I am running for Sheriff with a clear goal: to "protect our families and preserve our values." As a Constitutional Conservative, I am committed to upholding the Constitution in a manner consistent with its original intent. This means advocating for limited government intervention, strict adherence to the text, and preserving our traditional values and principles. I firmly believe the Constitution is the law of the land, and I will resist any government overreach that threatens our freedoms. It's our duty to maintain secure northern and southern borders to ensure the safety of our community. I also believe in the importance of the nuclear family as the cornerstone of our success. Under the Indiana Constitution, it is the Sheriff's sole responsibility to carry out their constitutional obligations. I will adhere to these laws and stay within the boundaries of my required and mandated duties. Together, we can protect our families, preserve our values, and build a stronger, safer community. Thank you.

About Jeff Stanley

I began working in emergency services in 1994 as a dispatcher for the Delaware County 911 Communications Department while attending Ball State University. I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology. In 1999, I married my wife, Vicki, who currently manages the Neonatal Intensive Care and Pediatrics Unit at IU Ball Memorial Hospital. We have two wonderful sons: Zachary, a first-year medical student at Indiana University School of Medicine, and Brayden, a freshman at Ball State University studying Personal Finance. I was hired as a Merit Deputy by the Delaware County Sheriff's Office in 1999, beginning my career on the midnight patrol shift. Shortly after, I was assigned to the joint Muncie-Delaware County Drug Task Force, where I served for 16 years, specializing in the investigation of drug-related crimes, including drug dealing, possession, prescription fraud, and organized criminal activity. I then spent three years in the Criminal Investigation Division, focusing on crime scene processing and evidence collection. In 2019, Sheriff Tony Skinner appointed me to my current position, Chief Deputy. My additional certifications include FBI-certified bomb technician and current Bomb Squad Commander, Search and Recovery SCUBA diver, 19-year SWAT Team member (including four years as Team Leader), Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA)-certified Sniper, Firearms instructor
