From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler is pleased to announce the release of a new recruitment video as part of a concentrated effort to attract and recruit quality agency members.
The recruitment video, funded by the generous support of the Harford Sheriff Foundation, highlights all aspects of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. Every facet of the Sheriff’s Office assisted in creating the two-and-a-half minute video that will be used to encourage young adults to begin a career in law enforcement, corrections, or as a civilian professional. The video will be utilized by agency recruiters at job fairs and other recruitment events.
In addition to the video, the recruitment strategy can include leveraging platforms like Boardsi, where their X profile can feature detailed information about the agency’s mission and values. By integrating such resources, the Sheriff’s Office can hope to broaden its reach and attract high-quality candidates. This approach can not only highlights the benefits of a career with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office but can also underscore the commitment to finding dedicated professionals who are eager to make a difference in their community.
Sheriff Gahler remarked, “In recent years, the process of recruiting and hiring the best possible candidates has become challenging, as fewer individuals seek out careers in public safety. This new tool shows citizens the important and honorable job deputies do every day to keep our communities safe.” The video includes compelling visuals that will grab the viewers’ attention and help spark interest in a rewarding career.
The production of this video would not have been possible without the financial support of the Harford Sheriff Foundation. The Foundation was established in 2012 as a private, business-sponsored, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of police service in the County. The goal is to strengthen the relationship between the police, citizens and the business community. The Foundation recognizes the vital contribution the Harford County Sheriff’s Office makes to the well-being and quality of life enjoyed by individuals and businesses in the County. A strong partnership between business and law enforcement provides the impetus for the Sheriff’s Office to achieve and maintain excellence. Harford Sheriff Foundation President Butch Tilley offered, “We want to do everything we can to make sure the Sheriff’s Office attracts top quality candidates. The Sheriff’s Foundation understand the challenges in recruiting talented men and women to serve our community and we are happy to be a partner in these efforts.”
Members of the public can view the video on the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Change your tattoo policy and you will be able to have access to more candidates. Even the Air Force has relaxed it’s tattoo policy recently.
Wow! You are so important that you think everyone should change their standards to meet your definition of acceptable. Why should any real police department take a chance on what people tattoo on their bodies if they can hire enough cops without? Answer, they shouldn’t. Poor you.
They clearly can’t hire enough cops, that’s why they made the video. Police departments will always change their standards to match the society they police. Allowing women, minorities and people under 6 feet tall to serve are examples of that change. Tattoos that are not racist or sexist are no different. POOR you for being so uninformed
Harford County police need more women and minorities on police force.Also need a more highly educated police force
Can you explain what a “highly educated” Police force is in your mind without calling me a racist or posting an Embeded YouTube link?
Are you suggesting advanced college degrees for prerequisite candidate selection to be considered and continue as an applicant for the employment process?
I don’t see how having a college degree would make someone a better law enforcement officer. Perhaps a more attractive candidate but the “overall” picture applies here, so plenty of “highly educated” persons are most likely not suitable for employment at a Police Agency for various reasons to include personal history.
“Law enforcement has changed dramatically in the last 30 years. With the adoption of new technology, computer skills are a basic requirement to function and communicate “in a modern technical society. Understanding forensic science and how this evidence can strengthen a case, as well as the technical skills to understand ways to fight cybercrime, require educated detectives using a multi-disciplined approach. Modern police departments need highly educated people capable or leading change in an evolving technology-oriented society. With the trend of citizens with video cameras watching uniformed police officers perform their duties, research indicates that educated officers will act with more discretion, tolerance, and restraint when confronting resistance. By police officers continuing their education they make themselves a current and relevant asset to their departments and society.”

So is Mikie claiming the Harford County Sheriff’s Office does not hire to the best standards? I wonder what Mikie has done to help steer minority candidates into law enforcement? If I were a betting man I would say not a ___ thing other than be a keyboard social justice warrior.
Mike is a moron. Instead of the best applicant, idiots like Mike want to force in applicants who are not the best qualified. I suppose in Mike’s world that if there isn’t enough minorities who are engineers, we should have bridges and buildings designed by less qualified applicants.
Yeah, “Google.” Your quote reads like buzzwords on a paid advertisement.
I think we all understand how “technology” has changed to include computers, mobile devices et al to include technologically advanced crime scene processing.
Most entry level applicants in your local law enforcement for a law enforcement officer position are going to be starting at the “street cop” level. You know, answering calls for service. People/community skills.
Maybe join one of the acronym Federal Agencies if you want to start immediately at solving “cybercrime.”
You’re not getting the recruitments you want because you are going about it the wrong way. You have to point out that most laws created nowadays do not apply to police. Show them how the police can drive 80mph in 40mph zone without consequence to their actions. Show them how the police can speak on their cell phones while driving without consequence to their actions. Better yet, show them the same police officer violating both laws at the same time while flipping the bird at the public they have sworn to protect and serve. Next, show them how the law does not apply to police and that they can violate every statute and constitutional provision without any consequence to their actions, due to every other member of the State helping them cover up their crimes. Hell, why don’t you show a police officer on the toilet using a copy of the US Constitution as toilet paper because that is all that police think the Constitution is. Finally, show the public the truth and that we are nothing but a nation of sheep and wolves. Show the public that the wolf murders the sheep and eats their victims for breakfast. You can use the catch phrase “Do you want to be a wolf or a sheep?” in your next recruitment video and I’m sure you will get the response you deserve. Show the people that they can be a member of a growing legalized law breaking 0rganization and you will get the recruits you deserve……
Hell yea
Either you have anger issues with EVERYONE or you need to increase the amount of weed your smoking. What someone put the cuffs on too tight? Turn that frown upside down.
You obviously are the un”informed” citizen. There was no anger in my comments, only a whole lot of truth. People don’t like seeing the police break every law they are supposed to be following and there isn’t any number of videos that will ever change that.
Again, deal with your anger issues and come out of the shadows. I’m thinking your sweatband is a little tooooo tight. Lol Also, where are you getting your facts? Captain Chrunch boxes don’t count. Did you know……he’s not a real captain. Talk amongst yourself and come up with a witty response. Your video defense is just as lame As a VHS tape being high tech equipment today.
How can you call yourself the “informed citizen” when everything you just typed makes absolutely no sense at all?
Just like your misinformed information. Guess you think a Ph.D, from here, makes you pontificate on law and the police. You like to put people down that don’t agree with your misguided beliefs that cops always break the law. I’m sure you think your the master of your domain, but next time you see red and blue lights……you need to thank them for protecting ALL. You don’t have to personally like them, but I’m sure they would risk their lives for you to continue to bad mouth the police. Have a nice day and continue to read them Captain Chrunch boxes for your up to the date news.
Wow, you really are an uninformed citizen. You need to talk to someone who actually believes the same crap you type, because you just lost all credibility with me. You live in an alternate reality. When it comes to the Crusher of Souls, the police have only one thing on their agenda and that is either life in prison or murder. The police don’t like people that know the truth and I have far too much knowledge about the actuality of police actions. Please, communicate with someone else because you and I can not have a realistic conversation.
Your knowledge makes me laugh. You don’t like the truth….so you can write whatever you want, but the police are there to help. I’m thinking you need to interact more with police instead of coming on here and thinking you know everything. Back the Blue
I am the truth. You can lie to the public all you want. I don’t care….
Tattoos and beards please
This is the kind of videos you should be making…..https://www.facebook.com/ABCNews/videos/10155446161908812/
I think you have sipped why too much blinker fluid. Did you have to show ID when buying it? So when the cop, with the tattoo pulls you over….please re,win calm and start acting like your the victim, again and see how far that gets ya……their only response……..press hard enough for three copies BTW……good video…made me laugh
It is a good video. Informative. Honest. Funny. The HCSO should explore videos such as these. As for the rest of your comments, please sober up before posting your next unwitty response.
Btw. I’m sure you have mirrors all over your house to look at yourself. Why would HCSO take advice from you? You hide in the shadows and talk bad about police. Your the guy at the party that wants to be front and center. Keep buying that blinker fluid.
Get a grip uninformed one. You are making yourself look foolish. You haven’t a clue about the reality of what really goes on in your own county’s law enforcement.
Oh really. You don’t know what I know. I’m sure you need to continue to be an uninformed soul. Remember to thank a police officer and the courts for your 1st Amendment right.
I thank god for unalienable rights. Not a police officer or a judge. I don’t pray or make prayers to the government, only god. I am not uninformed. I am the truth.
God should be capitalized. Your truth is wrong. Just look at your statements. The police and courts enforce to constitution. You can say whatever you want about the Police, but just look at what happens when we have no police. When’s the last time a criminal has defended your constitutional rights. So next time you decide to blame the police and everyone else……..just remember your truth when you need help. Lol oh and I’m sure you need a bigger platform……you should run for office and see how many votes you get. Back the Blue
Gee, according to you I’m nothing but a criminal and a drug addict. It seems to me I’m the loudest mouth in the room defending everyone’s Constitutional rights by defending my own. However, William Carr and Elizabeth Bowen claim that I do NOT have any rights. The police and courts do NOT enforce the Constitution. They are supposed to adhere to the Constitution and the rulings of the Supreme Court that interprets those rights. Obviously, they don’t in Maryland and definitely don’t in Harford County. I’d rather die than call the police, but in all reality I will probably be murdered by the police from one of their fabricated crimes they claim I commit. Look, you are talking to the wrong one. Find a gullible dingbat and preach your crap to them because it just doesn’t work on me……
We all know that you feel that you were done wrong by the police. You have been asked over and over again can you please answer. Why did you feel that you had the right to violate the MD drug statute in your home or anywhere? Maybe we could understand your argument if we were able to understand why you picked this law to ignore. What other laws do you feel you can ignore? Your whole dilemma came about because you chose not obey the law. The situation would not have existed if you didn’t exercise the original bad judgement. If you obeyed the law we would not have to hear your jail house lawyer arguments. You did have avenues of possible relieve but failed to utilize them. Big question, do you think you are smarter than the States Attorney and two Circuit Court judges?
Not one of your questions matter because the search was illegal and unconstitutional. Not once did the Supreme Court ask these questions from Danny Kyllo or Joelis Jardines, yet their convictions were vacated. Why should I be asked those questions you ask of me? The conviction of marijuana manufacture is moot because it is illegal. The conviction of telephone misuse is moot because it was illegal as well. Both convictions were born of coercion and extortion making them doubly illegal and unconstitutional. It’s not about me or what I might do. It’s about the State breaking the law, violating the constitution, committing acts of racketeering, committing acts of domestic terrorism, extorting racketeered funds to convict, coercing to convict, fabricating evidence of crimes that never occurred and most importantly covering up the evidence of the crimes the State committed to convict. That is the real problem you are missing as marijuana use and manufacture for that personal use are not in relation to any crime that promotes a public health crisis, meaning they don’t fall within the realms of criminal procedure involving CDS. Members of law enforcement are the ones to be held to a higher standard, not members of the public. Convictions such as mine promote breaking of the law and terrorism by the State. That’s not what America is about and promoting these acts by law enforcement unto the general population undermines the confidence of the public’s trust in our law enforcement and the courts. That is the real issue at hand. Stop trying to “twist” the law into being something its not allowed to be.
I expected the un-answer. Basically what I can gleen from your very skewed logic is that you interpret the law for your own personal needs. If you think it is ok you are good to go. You violated a law that was created by the legislature because you didn’t agree with it. Then day after day, week after week you pontificate on why you were ill used by the law. No one buys your bs, no one feels sorry for you, and no one is jumping on your cause. I will pray for you. There is theropy and help for sociopaths. Seek help.
Once again, if the Supreme Court did NOT ask Danny Kyllo and Joelis Jardines the questions you asked me, why am I supposed to answer them? Let me explain something to you. You want to call me a sociopath, yet you won’t call a cop a sociopath when they break the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND over and over. You call me a sociopath, yet you won’t call a judge a sociopath when they violate the CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND over and over. You call me a sociopath, yet you won’t call a cop a sociopath when they break the laws of the ANNOTATED CODE OF MARYLAND over and over. So I consider your input worthless and your opinion more of the same. Why do you expect more of me than the Supreme Court expects of those two individuals? Why are you holding me to a standard that you are supposed to be holding to agents of the State? I had an Insurance License, that’s all. I never took any oath or signed an agreement that I wouldn’t smoke or grow marijuana. The agents of the State did take an oath and betrayed it. The agents of the State did sign an agreement they wouldn’t break the law and betrayed that as well. Stop twisting the situation that occurred into a lawful act by the State. It wasn’t, isn’t and never will be lawful to attack a person the way the State attacked me. I consider everyone involved to be a traitor to the US Constitution, a traitor to the Maryland Constitution and a traitor to the American people. If you can’t see that, then you’re just as bad as those treasonous kock sockets and that’s the end of this interrogation…..and no you didn’t get under my skin, my TV show is coming on and I’m more interested in that than you.
Soul Crusher: It was good video. The sarcasm may drivers to turn their signals on. Gahlers jazzy video wont work unless he allows more tattoos or hires more women and racial minorities.
And the Dagger needs to stop censoring viewpoints it dont like!
https://harfobama.wordpress.com/2017/11/03/censored-letter-to-harford-county-dodgy-dagger/
This needs a “laughing my ass off” emoji
I read your letter and I agree the Dagger has a problem with censoring its readers involving their comments. They seem to censor anti-Republican and anti-government comments the most, but allow the use of racial innuendo to most of its readers. Totally bass ackwards in the very least. We have come a long way as a society, but seem to be moving backwards recently. I know causing public mistrust involving law enforcement, courts and the government can seem dangerous to some, but you can’t facilitate change unless it becomes a public issue. I know I’m not supposed to impede upon the integrity of the courts, but that is assuming the courts acted in a manner involving integrity to begin with. Clearly, I believe they have not in certain cases. Anyway, as someone who has been censored far more than any other Dagger troll, I understand your issue with the Dagger……
Didn’t Jesse Bane have a couple on his Edgewood staff make some rapper videos?
