SAFE STREETS, REAL CHANGE.

MY PRIORITIES

REFORM

James will reform the Roanoke City Sheriff’s Office by promoting respected and qualified leaders with real experience - ending the cycle of favoritism and pay to play.

RESTORE

James will restore morale among officers and make the Sheriff’s Office a place where people are proud to serve.

INTEGRATION

James will integrate the Sheriff’s Office into the Roanoke City community, supporting all areas of our city and strengthening the trust between law enforcement and the people they serve.

RETENTION

James will work to retain the most qualified and talented law enforcement professionals in the region by ensuring equal pay comparable to surrounding counties.

PROTECT

James will bring safety and accountability back to our streets and neighborhoods, making Roanoke a safe place to live, work, and raise a family. Fighting homelessness, drugs and crime is part of his Day 1 Agenda. Increasing police presence in our neighborhoods is critical to achieve safe neighborhoods, streets, and schools.

James Creasy was born and raised in Southeast Roanoke. He is a proud graduate of William Fleming High School and a man of deep faith who grew up in the Garden City church community. With over 24 years of dedicated service in the Roanoke City Sheriff’s Office, he currently serves as a Sergeant and School Resource Officer, protecting our schools and our children, and guiding the next generation with integrity and leadership.

James helps run his family’s small business - giving him a firsthand understanding of how crime, drug use, and homelessness are directly impacting local businesses and families. He sees the fear growing in our city as violent and random crime becomes more common - something no one should feel as they walk out their front door.

James is running for Sheriff because we need real change - and he has the experience, heart and vision to lead it.
