Jason Cabel Ciemielewski

Jason Cabel Ciemielewski is a Democratic candidate for Sheriff of Frederick County. By profession, he is a scientific researcher and a graduate student at Hood College. As a candidate, Ciemielewski has outlined several key policy priorities for the sheriff's office. These include the termination of the county's participation in the 287(g) program, which delegates federal immigration enforcement authority to local law enforcement. He also aims to give a higher priority to the timely processing of evidence from sexual assault cases and has called for increased civilian oversight of the department. Ciemielewski has advocated for a "compassionate civilian approach" to leadership and does not possess prior experience in law enforcement.
