Asked what makes them the best man for the job, both candidates for Callaway County sheriff gave the same answer: their experience.
After 30 years with the sheriff's office - the past 11 at the helm - incumbent Democratic candidate Dennis Crane said he knows how to do every job within his department.
"I guess I've seen all aspects, I've done a little bit of everything. I've worked the road, to doing investigations, I've personally worked multiple burglaries and cases in multiple jurisdictions, so I understand how complicated they can be. I've worked on rapes, homicides. I've got experience working a scene. I know how to interview witnesses and suspects," Crane said. "To me, that gives me a better understanding of where we've been, where we're at and where we're going."
