Jerry & Samie

Sheriff Gerald R. Kempf
Brown County
 
I have been a police officer for most of my adult life, serving 39 years in the law enforcement profession. I was employed by the Illinois State Police for 29 years and served in patrol for 7 years, covert drug enforcement for 21 years and administration for 1 year. I also worked as a patrol officer for 1 year in an adjoining state. I have been Sheriff of Brown County for 9 years and have 3 years left on my present term.
 
I feel that it is my duty to protect the people of Brown County and their rights as set forth in the constitution of United States of America. One of those rights is the second amendment right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.
 
The Brown County Board has passed a resolution supporting the second amendment rights of the citizens of Brown County to keep and bear arms. I strongly agree and support the action of our board in defending the rights of our citizens and will do my best to protect those rights.

Pro2aresolution.com would like to add that we are very proud of Jerry for being the first elected official to endorse the Second Amendment Resolution and the first law enforcement official to state that he would not enforce any laws which were in violation of the resolution.
