Oklahoma
Sheriffs'
Association
Inducts
Sequoyah
County
Sheriff
J.W.
Philpot
Into
the
2008
Sheriff's
Hall
Of
Fame
Letters
of
endorsement
and
support
from
citizens,
law
enforcement,
and
state
officials
from
around
the
state
accompanied
the
nomination
of
our
Sheriffs
Hall
Of
Fame
recipient.
These
endorsements
described
a
Sheriff
with
a
hands-on
approach
to
law
enforcement
and
a
steadfast
involvement
in
the
county
which
included
aggressive
drug
interdiction
strategies
and
a
commitment
to
training
and
professionalism
within
the
Sheriffs
office.
Sheriff
Philpot
is
recognized
as a
pioneer
in
law
enforcement
methods
and
tactics
among
his
peers
in
Oklahoma
and
the
region.
In
one
of
his
endorsement
letters
is
was
stated
that
Sheriff
J.W.
Philpot
of
Sequoyah
County
is a
model
for
all
Sheriffs.
He
demonstrated
early
in
life
that
the
only
way
to
succeed
is
through
hard
work
and
dedication.
As
an
ex
marine
he
lives
by a
code
and
he
is a
true
born
leader
of
men.
There
have
been
many
times
in
which
he
has
had
to
ask
his
deputies
to
enter
a
dangerous
situation.
None
have
ever
backed
down
as
they
know
and
trust
that
he
will
be
right
by
their
side
as
they
enter
that
situation.
On
one
particular
event
during
what
many
called
the
Sequoyah
county
lab
wars
Sheriff
Philpot
mounted
a
campaign
against
methamphetamine
labs
within
the
county.
It
was
during
that
year
that
Sequoyah
county
had
the
highest
number
of
lab
seizures
within
the
state
of
Oklahoma
and
was
recognized
as
number
two
in
the
nation
in
lab
seizures
in
1997
and
2000.
The
letter
also
stated
that
our
recipient
is a
consummate
professional
and
he
believes
in
leading
by
example.
He
was
quoted
as
saying
"The
people
of
Sequoyah
county
elected
me
Sheriff,
and
I
will
do
my
job".
He
knows
he
was
elected
to
this
honorable
position,
but
leaders
are
not
elected,
they
are
known
by
examples
they
leave
behind.
Sheriff
Philpot
does
this
by
the
examples
he
sets
with
his
service
over
self
attitude.

Dear
Friends,
Neighbors
and
Colleagues,
The
Sequoyah
County
Sheriff’s
Department
invites
you
to
the
unveiling
and
dedication
ceremony
of
the
“Picture
Them
Home”
campaign
on
Monday,
July
21,
2008
at
10
a.m.
at
the
parking
lot
on
the
north
side
of
Cherokee
Street
(Highway
64)
and
west
of
Wheeler
Street
(Hwy
59
North).
“Picture
Them
Home”
is
a
campaign
started
by
The
Morgan
Nick
Foundation,
http://www.morgannick.com,
where
photos
of
missing
children
are
placed
on
the
rear
windows
of
patrol
vehicles.
It
is
just
human
nature
to
look
when
we
see
a
patrol
vehicle,
making
them
the
perfect
place
to
put
missing
children’s
photos
so
they
have
the
best
chance
of
being
viewed
by
the
public.
The
Sequoyah
County
Sheriff’s
Department
will
be
the
first
law
enforcement
agency
in
the
State
of
Oklahoma
to
join
this
campaign
and
only
the
second
in
the
nation,
following
closely
behind
Clarksville
Police
Department,
Clarksville,
AR.
Simply
put,
“Picture
Them
Home”
works.
On
May
2,
2008,
the
Clarksville
Police
Department
posted
a
photograph
of
a
smiling,
redhaired
Dixie
Rogers,
who
ran
away
from
her
Conway,
AR
home.
Before
the
clock
struck
midnight,
Rogers,
16,
resurfaced.
The
adult
she
was
staying
with
in
south
Arkansas
heard
that
police
were
looking
for
the
girl,
panicked
and
had
her
call
home.
It
was
a
wonderful
thing
for
the
Clarksville
Police
Department
to
be
able
to
place
a
recovered
sticker
across
Dixie’s
photograph.
That
is
what
the
program
is
all
about,
recovering
missing
children.
The
Sequoyah
County
Sheriff’s
Department
has
dedicated
twelve
(12)
law
enforcement
vehicles
to
the
“Picture
Them
Home”
campaign
and
each
deputy
will
carry
a
set
of
fliers
in
their
vehicle
that
contains
biographical
information
about
the
missing
children
on
their
patrol
vehicle.
Eleven
of
the
vehicles
will
carry
photographs
of
two
(2)
different
missing
children
while
one
(1)
vehicle
will
be
dedicated
to
Morgan
Nick
who
was
abducted
in
1995
while
attending
a
little
league
baseball
game
in
Alma,
AR.
Morgan
was
six
(6)
years
old
at
the
time
of
her
disappearance
and
she
has
not
been
heard
from
since.
Please
join
us
on
Monday,
July
21,
2008
at
10
a.m.
to
help
us
dedicate
these
twelve
(12)
patrol
vehicles
to
the
“Picture
Them
Home”
campaign
and
help
us
help
a
child
find
their
way
home
again.
Remember,
“Love
Always
Hopes.”
Your
presence
and
support
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
J.W.
Philpot
Sequoyah
County
Sheriff
