I’m Doug Doughtie and I want to be your Sheriff.  My law enforcement career spans thirty years and covers every aspect of police work including patrol, investigations, narcotics and work as a school resource officer.  I have twice been promoted to the rank of lieutenant, once with Ahoskie PD where I began my career and again with the Dare County Sheriff’s Office where I retired in 2006.  

    Since 1989, I have lived in Dare County with my wife, Shanon, and three wonderful boys.  As an active member of the community I am on the Board of Deacons with Kitty Hawk Baptist and on the Board of Directors for Outer Banks Babe Ruth.  I’m a Youth Teacher at my church and have coached baseball, basketball and soccer with Dare County Parks and Rec for the past ten years.  I am active in the FCA. 

    After having long enjoyed the benefits of living in Dare County, I feel it is time to give back.  My long career and experience working in Dare County has given me a vision of how this Sheriff’s Office should be run.  The citizens should not be satisfied with the status quo, and I am the man to lead the Sheriff’s Office into the next decade.
