Franklin Moore has over thirty years of experience in law enforcement, including sixteen years as Chief of Police in Stoneville and previous work as a Deputy with the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.

His campaign will focus on three main areas:

Safety

Building positive relationships starts with increasing visibility and genuine engagement.

  • Encourage deputies to get out of their vehicles and actively connect with residents in the areas they serve.
  • Promote participation in community events, hosting meet-and-greets, and working closely with local businesses and community leaders.
  • Ensure not just administration, but deputies as well, take part in events so the public can get to know those on the front lines.
  • Foster open communication and show that deputies are approachable and invested in the community to build trust and reduce tensions.

Accountability

Addressing staffing shortages begins with treating our employees with respect and ensuring their voices are heard.

  • Establish a dedicated hiring team to define the qualities and values desired in team members and guide recruitment efforts.
  • Advocate before the county board for competitive pay and benefits to attract and retain qualified personnel.
  • Explore creating a paid part-time reserve officer program to provide flexible support across various areas of the department.
  • Focus on respectful workplace culture, strategic hiring, and competitive compensation to build and maintain a strong, qualified workforce that serves Rockingham County effectively.

Technology

Technology should make us more efficient, more transparent, and better connected to the people we serve.

  • Assess & Plan: Review current IT systems with county staff, identify outdated tools, and create a 5–10 year Capital Improvement Plan with budgeted upgrades.
  • Strengthen Communication: Train a Public Information Officer to deliver timely, accurate updates to the community and media.
  • Boost Crime Prevention: Assign a Crime Prevention Officer and use data, feedback, and modern tools (cameras, mapping, social media alerts) to proactively reduce crime.
  • Overall Goal: Invest in technology that improves safety, speeds up response, and keeps the public informed and engaged.

Vision for Leadership

My vision is to build a Sheriff's Office that is stronger, more professional, and community-focused. A place where every member feels respected, valued, and supported.

I want our department to be known not only for effective law enforcement but also for fairness, integrity, and teamwork.

Roots in Stoneville

A lifelong resident dedicated to our community

Built by Teamwork

I am a lifelong Stoneville resident. I believe in the power of connection and strive to make a new friend every day. Family, friends, and sports bring joy to my life. High school football taught me focus, leadership, and real teamwork . These are lessons I carry into everything I do for this community.

Showing Up for Each Other

Community has always been at the center of who I am. Whether it's cheering on a local team, lending a hand to a neighbor, or spending time with loved ones, I find purpose in being part of something bigger than myself.

How I Show Up

I value honesty, hard work, and treating people with respect. Those lessons, learned from family and reinforced by years in this community, guide how I live each day.

Home is Where the Heart Is

Stoneville isn't just where I live—it's home. The people here are my friends, my family, and my motivation to keep showing up, giving back, and working toward a brighter future for all of us.

Living the Dream

Law enforcement was my childhood dream, and I was blessed to live it for more than 30 years. I graduated from Stoneville High in 1983, finished BLET in 1985, and spent my career serving this community. What I value most is simple, meeting people, helping where I can, and treating every person like a neighbor.

Leadership Through Listening

Over the years, I’ve come to see that service takes many forms. From guiding young officers and building trust with residents to standing alongside neighbors during challenging times, every moment has reinforced my belief that leadership means listening first.

Service Doesn’t Retire

Service Doesn’t Retire

Retirement just means I have more time to serve. You’ll find me mentoring, cheering at the ballfield, pitching in at events, and catching up with folks wherever we cross paths. If there’s a need, I’m there.

Strengthening Our Community

Stoneville has shaped my life. I want to return that gift through service, consistency, and care. I will keep showing up and doing the work so our community gets stronger.

Looking Ahead

With a deep commitment to service, I aspire to be your next Sheriff of Rockingham County. I will bring fairness, accountability, and experience to the role. My goal is to ensure every resident feels safe, heard, and respected.
