This is a message from Sheriff Jerry Parsley posted on our page over two years ago, March 23rd, 2012. It still holds true today even with thousands more subscribers. We thank all our subscribers for keeping this page very professional: I have to admit that Social Media was not in my vocabulary six months ago, and was very reluctant to the suggestion of a facebook page. My experience prior to that with social media and blogging was that most were about gossip and sensationalism, which I refused to allow this Office to be a part of. When my team floated the idea and we discussed it they assured me that they would be able to create a facebook page which would be beneficial to the residents. I agreed that our mission in this Office was to work for the people of this county and if social media could be used in a way to benefit the residents then I would give the green light for a trial. Over the last six months I think my team has given me a way to go directly to you with information, which I see as a benefit. I appreciate all the comments and likes. I frequently peruse the page to insure it is continuing in the direction of being beneficial. I read your comments and see the likes on the posts. I can even admit there have been times I have directed specific information to be posted as I have found it is a way to get important information out to a lot of people quickly. Although we appreciate all the good comments and welcome any feedback I want to emphasize this page is NOT about us, it is here as a tool to give us the ability to give you the information you want and need. This page can never replace the personal interaction I like to have, and I will still make myself available by phone or in person to each and every one of you. I expect any issues you have about this Office to come directly to me so I can address them immediately. I would like to say THANK YOU to the 1220+ subscribers of this page. As a non-tech savvy person you have shown me that social media can play a vital and beneficial role in providing information to the people of Clark County, when moderated correctly. I am happy to provide this facebook page to you, as a window inside our Office. Sincerely, Sheriff Jerry Parsley
