Sheriff John Davenport to retire
Chief Deputy Bill Cameron announces candidacy for sheriff in 2008
CHARLOTTE COUNTY – Charlotte County Sheriff John Davenport today announced he will retire at the end of his term after 31 years in local law enforcement. At the same time, Chief Deputy Bill Cameron announced he will seek the office of sheriff in 2008.
“It was a difficult decision not to seek re-election, particularly with all the support I have received, both within the agency and in the community to run for re-election once again,” Davenport said in a press release.
Davenport said he was leaving while he was still young and healthy enough to enjoy retirement.
“Life is much too short and unpredictable, and although I have totally enjoyed my career and enjoyed serving as the sheriff of this great community, the time has come to move on. I want to thank everyone who has supported me over my career,” he said.
Davenport made it clear that he was supporting Cameron in his candidacy for sheriff.
“Having such a competent and proven leader as Bill Cameron to take over the reins has made the decision to retire at this time a bit easier to do,” Davenport said.
