The Lake County DSA supports the highest professional standards for peace officers by encouraging the establishment of training schools and other methods of instruction.

Being a lifelong resident, Undersheriff Bingham understands the needs unique to Lake County and the safety of the community.

He has long fought to enhance public safety, uphold professional training standards, and retain quality deputies at the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Undersheriff Bingham has long created a high level of professional trust among the deputies at the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

He will be a great law and order sheriff who believes in the core principles and values of being a law enforcement officer and a Lake County deputy.

The Lake County DSA appreciates Undersheriff Bingham's willingness to keep communication avenues open and his concerted efforts to seek the Lake County DSA's input on issues involving the deputies and the community.

These qualities make him truly deserving of the Lake County Deputy Sheriff Association's support.

We look forward to his election as the next Lake County sheriff.
