Paul Best made the announcement Friday on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall. Best will run as an independent against Democratic nominee James Brown.
Best has 15 years experience in law enforcement and now works on the Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement Task Force.
Best says he will use his experience to initiate a "gang reduction and intervention program."
Best, 39, said he decided to run for sheriff because he would like to improve the quality of life in Charlottesville and he thinks certain core services of the Sheriff’s Office can be expanded.
