“Marion County is my home, and it deserves a Sheriff who understands what it takes to lead with experience,” stated Webb. “I’ve spent my entire career serving this community and helping train the men and women who protect it every day. As Sheriff, I’ll make sure our deputies have the tools, training, and support they need to keep every family safe.”
Throughout his career, Webb has continued his professional education, completing advanced training in investigations, supervision, and law enforcement management. He has served on the Board of the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Officers Association, is the Past President of the Fraternal Order of Police and was recognized as Officer of the Year by Marion County’s local VFW.
