Tomorrow is Election Day! Your vote matters!!

For the past 18 months, I’ve worked hard to share the challenges facing the Noble County Sheriff’s Department, and present a clear actionable plan to move the department forward. I have heard your concerns and hope I will be given the opportunity to solve them.

I am so grateful for your support, but support alone doesn’t decide elections, only votes can do that. Rain is in the forecast, but I need you to show up anyway. Please get out and cast your vote.

Many of you have asked where I’ll be tomorrow evening. I will be on duty, serving the people of Noble County.

I am thankful I have had the privilege of meeting so many of you, hearing your stories, and earning your trust.

It’s been an honor to be a candidate for the next Noble County Sheriff. Let’s finish strong!!

They grew up seeing what this job demands and chose it anyway. It’s not just our career, it’s our legacy. Service runs in our blood. Todd and I are both proud grandpas now. Together we want to build a stronger Sheriff’s Department. We want to leave it far better than when we first found it 25 years ago. We want it to be a place our grandchildren will be proud to work at.

I am proud to offer my full support and endorsement of Shane Coney for sheriff. During my tenure as sheriff, I had the privilege of working with him as both a deputy and later as my Jail Commander. In every role he held, he demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and a deep commitment to serving the Noble County community.

A former United States marine, Shane Coney brings with him the discipline, leadership, and sense of duty that our law enforcement agencies need. More importantly, Shane Coney leads by example. He earns the respect of those around him, not by rank alone, but through hard work, accountability, and a willingness to stand alongside his team.

I witnessed firsthand his ability to make sound decisions under pressure, manage personnel effectively, and treat both staff and citizens with fairness and respect. His leadership in the jail division reflected his strong organizational skills and his focus on safety, efficiency, and professionalism.

Shane Coney has the experience, character, and vision to serve as sheriff with distinction. I have no doubt he will continue to uphold the highest standards of law-enforcement while working to build trust within the community.

I strongly encourage the citizens of Noble County to support Shane County for sheriff of Noble County. He’s ready on day one!

Respectfully,
Doug Harp
Retired Noble County Sheriff
Current President Noble County Council

“My name is Kyle Dukes. I was born and raised in Noble County and am a 1995 graduate of East Noble High School. I started my law enforcement career at the Noble County Sheriff’s Department. My father, Doug Dukes, was also a two-term Republican Sheriff in Noble County. I completed 24 years in law enforcement- 2 as a reserve deputy for the Noble County Sheriff’s Department, 18 as an Indiana State Trooper, and 4 as the Sheriff of Kosciusko County. After being elected Sheriff, it was quite apparent that Shane Coney was being sought after by many newly-elected Sheriffs. After meeting with Mr. Coney on numerous occasions, it was obvious that he demonstrated the qualities necessary to become a great leader in my administration team. Mr. Coney accepted the position of Jail Commander for the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office. He inherited a jail that was overcrowded and understaffed. As Jail Commander, Mr. Coney helped facilitate and grow the JCAP (Jail Chemical Addiction Program) in Kosciusko County. He cooperated alongside our JCAP Coordinator to involve community leaders in supporting and mentoring inmates in the program. Partnering with the jail ministry team to assist and encourage inmates was another priority of Coney as Jail Commander. Mr. Coney also worked very closely with the local judges, prosecutors, and work release director to lower the jail population. Shane Coney earned the respect and trust of his jail staff. Being an administrator is not an easy role, and many tough decisions need to be made. His decision-making was always based on what was morally, ethically, and legally, correct. Mr. Coney was “not in it to make friends,” but rather to run a well-managed jail properly under Indiana law. Noble County will always be considered “home” to me, so I don’t make this endorsement lightly. I encourage you to support Shane Coney for Noble County Sheriff. He values honesty, integrity, teamwork, and has the experience necessary to make the Noble County Sheriff’s Department a premier law enforcement agency.”

Public speaking isn’t my favorite, but great leadership requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. That’s where growth happens.

Thank you to the Noble County Republican Women’s Club for the opportunity to stand at the podium and share my vision for a stronger Sheriff’s Office.

Last night, I spent much of my time focusing on JCAP. JCAP is not work release. JCAP is not jail release. It is a 4-month dynamic program designed to help those who are ready for change, build the life skills needed to live sober, successful lives outside of confinement.

I will integrate existing programs and staff to ensure JCAP graduates can take advantage of those next steps. Sobriety and breaking the addiction has to come first.

I’m grateful for the support of my fellow conservative Republicans.

No Sheriff succeeds alone. It takes a strong team. I’m honored to introduce the person I have asked to serve as Chief Deputy. The choice was easy based on his work ethic and service to Noble County.

Deputy Todd Weber has over 25 years with the Noble County Sheriff’s Department.

During his time there he has served as Confinement Officer and Sergeant in the jail. He has over 20 years working as a Merit Deputy where he has received training in just some of the following areas:
• First Line Supervision, Mastering Leadership Skills (PATC)
• +Smart Certifications (Cell Phone Investigations – PATC)
• Crime Scene Investigations (PATC)
• Forensics 101 (ISP)
• Motorola CPS Programming
• Computer Forensics (PATC)
• Criminal and Detective Investigations (PATC)
• Investigative Techniques Using Social Media (PATC)

Over the years Deputy Weber has led with an IT mindset, supporting growth in law enforcement by using new and available technology.

In 2018, under Sheriff Doug Harp, Deputy Weber served as project manager of the Spillman project that brought all police agencies in Noble County under the same records system. This system streamlined information sharing, which was a critical need for everyone involved in public safety. For this accomplishment Todd was awarded “The Distinguished Service Award.” This award has only been earned two other times.

Todd is a problem solver. He is ready to step up to the frontline. We know what a strong, united Sheriff’s Office looks like, and we are ready to put in the work to bring that back for the people of Noble County.

What is Frontline Leadership?

When I decided to run for sheriff, I knew the message had to be clear and powerful. That’s why you’ll see “Frontline Leadership” on my billboards. It’s the shortest, most meaningful way to share who I am and what kind of sheriff I’ll be.

I’m proud to have served in the United States Marine Corps. The discipline, commitment, and selfless service I learned will guide me every day as your sheriff. I don’t make empty promises or chase personal glory. It is not about me! It is about the well-being of the team. The value of the team, working together, is far more important than the notoriety of the person holding the position of sheriff.

Every member of the sheriffs office, whether jail officer, deputy, cook or detective matters. I’ve listened to your concerns over the past year, and I feel the weight of this responsibility. My desire to solve problems and strengthen our department is unwavering. I want the citizens of Noble County to be proud of this office, and I want every employee to look forward to their shift and be ready to serve the public.

When you see my billboards, remember, I’ll go first. I’ll lead the way. I’ll be boots on the ground and the Frontline leader Noble County deserves.
