Frostburg resident Rich Godlove announced his candidacy for Allegany County Sheriff during Tuesday night’s Cumberland Mayor and City Council meeting.  Republican Godlove was born and raised in Cumberland before moving to Frostburg 10 years ago, and has served in law enforcement for 32 years.  Godlove said the job of Sheriff should be more than an endorsement…

   

“As Sheriff, I will lead with accountability, efficiency and transparency.  Public trust isn’t inherited and should not simply be passed down to the next in line, it’s earned.  This city, this county, deserves a department that shows up, listens, and it deserves leadership that is rooted in the community that it serves, as I am here today.”
