On this month’s Sheriff’s Sit-Down—recorded live at the Fjord Oyster Bank—Mason County Sheriff Ryan Spurling joins host Jeff Slakey to tackle the big questions facing local law enforcement and the community they serve.
- Forest Festival recap: why joint visibility with Shelton Police, State Patrol and Squaxin Tribal PD matters.
- History lesson: Sheriff Spurling breaks down Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles of “policing by consent” and explains why they still guide modern deputies.
- Neighborhood Watch win-rate: how retiree-heavy areas like Lakeland Village and Alderbrook keep crime low—and how you can replicate their success.
- House Bill 1163: longer wait times and live-fire training for gun purchases by 2027—will it curb crime, or just burden law-abiding owners?
- Homelessness vs. “criminal vagrancy”: Brewer Park’s tent city, skyrocketing calls for service, and the fine line between help and accountability.
- Call to action: join a Watch group, attend the first-Friday sheriff’s lunch, and row in the same direction for a safer Mason County.
