Jeff Christopher was elected as Sheriff on a platform to return Sussex County, Delaware to its once constitutional standing. As it sits today Sussex County sees the sheriff as a foreclosure expert with a gun. Sheriff  Christopher faces a uphill battle against encroaching state legislation that is unconstitutional on the state and federal level. We talked to residents and visitors in Fredericksburg about the role of the Sheriff and ask do we follow the constitution in America. I think you already have the answer to the later.

Sheriff Jeff Christopher can be reached by phone or email via the Sussex County, Delaware web site.

Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Cristopher said his reading of the Delaware Constitution precludes him from complying with the provisions of the bill, which makes clear that Delaware sheriffs do not have the power to make arrests or investigate crimes.
