Rich Byrd
EXPERIENCE AND INTEGRITY FOR A SAFER COMMUNITY
For too long, the headlines in Pacific County have been dominated by conflict between county departments rather than the shared mission of public safety. We believe that the citizens of Pacific County and the dedicated employees of the Sheriff’s Office deserve better. As your candidates for Sheriff and Undersheriff, Rich Byrd and Heath Layman are committed to ending the “culture of friction” and replacing it with a culture of partnership, trust, and fiscal efficiency.

Byrd for Sheriff: Protecting Our Community Together
Together, Byrd and Layman say their campaign is centered on restoring community trust and strengthening the Sheriff’s Office through steady leadership and practical solutions.
“Our mission is clear,” said Byrd. “We will rebuild professionalism, support our deputies, improve training and accountability, and restore public confidence in the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office.”
Byrd and Layman got their start at the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office in the early 90’s
