• How the prevalence of mental health issues and addiction in jails inspired her to run for sheriff
• The role of Barnstable County Sheriff's Office in managing the jail, criminal investigations, and emergency services

• The newly opened Bridge Center that provides comprehensive post-release support services
• Development of specialized programming for women that addresses their unique needs
