As Sheriff, Tavier will expand his work to support the deputies by increasing their training, care for their wellbeing, and to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community that it serves. This will ensure every resident has timely, reliable access to the information they need to stay safe and make informed decisions.Tavier Wasser is married with one child, and is also an ordained minister who has performed several weddings (all of which have a 100% conviction rate).If you would like to get in touch, please contact the WasserForSheriff campaign team at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:wasser4sheriff@gmail.com">wasser4sheriff@gmail.com</a>.

Island County is a peaceful place, but we can’t afford to fall asleep at the wheel. One crisis event can isolate or endanger our community. When things happen, we need leadership that knows how to step up, engage, and keep residents informed of what’s happening - so we can all be safe.

“I served my country, and returned home to protect the community that protected me.”- Tavier Wasser

In these trying times, it’s important to find the difference between a crime and a call for help. During his time in law enforcement within Island County, Wasser has worked to expand the mental health capacity of both the Sheriff’s office and the Langley Police Department, and will look to do the same as the Island County Sheriff.

Island County is safe, but we can’t endure unusual events like the <a href="https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/police-shooting-everett-wa" style="color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-secondary);">recent multi-county crime spree</a> that happened on New Year’s Day. While officers did their best to protect our community, we could have been better prepared. As Sheriff, Wasser will look to improve the readiness of our officers, and get more of our police force trained on SWAT tactics along with Hostage and Crisis training and other advanced techniques (K9, drone, etc). It’s critically important that our officers are ready for anything that can happen.

In an isolated community with one road in and one road out, public communication is key. In the event of a crisis situation, it is imperative that the Sheriff’s office has the knowledge and capability to issue appropriate public statements. Wasser is committed to increasing communications between the Sheriff’s Office and the public on both Camano and Whidbey Islands.

Justice doesn’t stop once officers have made an arrest - there has to be someone who will support victims and help them access resources to reduce the harm they’ve suffered. Currently the Island County Prosecutor’s office manages victim advocacy, but that connection comes much later. Too many victims are left alone to figure out what comes next after they’ve suffered harm. Wasser will work with other agencies to establish a more holistic response for Island County, so no victim will have to walk alone.&nbsp;

Establish A Victim Advocacy Unit

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE&nbsp; Contact: Tavier Wasser, <a href="mailto:wasser4sheriff@gmail.com">wasser4sheriff@gmail.com</a> Citing a desire to increase public communications, police training and overall safety, Langley Chief of Police Tavier Wasser, a long time resident of Island County, announced his campaign to run for Island County Sheriff this fall.&nbsp; “I came back to Island County to protect the communities that protected me. Residents deserve to have the best trained, most accountable and most transparent sheriff’s deputies protecting them. If elected I plan to lead the sheriff’s office with those goals in mind.” said Tavier Wasser. A graduate of South Whidbey High School, Tavier Wasser enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and was selected to serve as a Presidential Security Marine. During his 8 year tenure, he managed 200 Marines tasked with presidential and asset security across the globe. In 2015, Tavier joined the Island County Sheriff’s Office. During Tavier’s tenure, he achieved a Master-level certification in Crisis and Hostage Negotiation. Tavier’s expertise and understanding of security operations led him to be appointed as a Field Training Officer for multiple agencies, helping to strengthen law enforcement's next generation of peace officers. In 2022, Tavier Wasser was appointed as Chief of Police for the City of Langley. During his time as Chief of Police, Tavier has created and implemented the department’s first policy manual to make them more accountable to the public, modernized the department assets, and created access to mental health support.
