Long announces his bid for Sheriff

My name is Eric Long and I am running for the position of Sheriff of Cherokee County.

I was born and raised in Rusk, where I attended school and graduated from Rusk High School in 1986.

I attended Tyler Junior College and Stephen F. Austin University where I studied Criminal Justice.

Following college, I worked with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services where I received training working with MHMR.

I also worked with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and became a member of the React Team and received training in riot control, forced cell moves, K-9 and search and rescue.

In 1997 I decided to advance my career in law enforcement and completed training to become a Texas Department of Public Safety State Trooper.

I served the citizens of Texas and Cherokee County for more than 30 years in that capacity and retired as a Senior Trooper from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Throughout my career I received my Master Peace Officer Certification, Instructor Certification and Firearms Instructor Certification.

If elected to the sheriff’s office, I will use my knowledge and experience to serve the citizens of Cherokee County.

Please vote LONG for Sheriff. Thank you.
