One role of the Sheriff is to inform the citizens of legislative changes that affect public safety. As your sheriff I will always share this with you and advocate for common sense law enforcement reforms.
A balanced approach is critical in order to protect victims while allowing us to apprehend those who violate the law so that they can be held accountable and access services - such as drug court and behavioral health court - programs which are only available through our criminal justice system.

Detective Art Frank begins campaign for County Sheriff
On May 16, Jefferson County Detective Art Frank officially filed his candidacy for the position of Sheriff for Jefferson County. At his campaign kick-off gathering the day before, Frank thanked those who had joined his team and other citizen supporters, and shared his goals for the campaign season.
“When I started down this road I could not have anticipated the overwhelming positive feedback and support that I have received. All of this affirms for me that I made the right decision when I decided to run for Sheriff and that there is no higher form of public service. I’ve been talking to people from every corner of the county and they are telling me that something has got to change. I am looking forward to a positive campaign where I can share my mission and my vision for the future of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.”
Frank has 42 years of service in law enforcement. His involvement in Jefferson County includes serving as an EMT and volunteer for the Quilcene Fire Department where he is currently a fire commissioner for the district. He also represents all Jefferson County fire commissioners on the JeffCom 911 Board.
Frank recently shared his goals he is calling the pillars of a “Respond and Resolve” mission to strengthen local law enforcement that serves all communities, supported by an inspired and motivated staff with mission-driven spending.
“Leadership requires a plan and my unifying mission provides a framework for running the department. The three pillars are fundamental to anticipating the needs of the community and department and being able to do more than just react. The status quo is not a mission. This election campaign is an opportunity for voters to ask questions and have a real voice in shaping the future of law enforcement in our county.”
Frank is looking forward to talking with voters and meeting people who are concerned about public safety and the way the department serves the various communities within the county. “I will be out talking to everyone saying again and again, “Ask Art Anything.” I will be out at community events and also hosting a series of “meet the candidate” events around the county. “I want folks to get to know me. The most meaningful way to do this is one-on-one. I can look them in the eye and talk about my plan from the heart. I know that what I have to say will resonate with voters and I encourage people to come out and ask me anything,” he said. He will be hosting his first such event at the Pourhouse in Port Townsend on Thursday June 9, 2022, from 4:30-6:30 pm. Voters can also email questions directly to Frank at art@art4sheriff.net.
