Jerry Clayton, of Ypsilanti, is the Washtenaw County Sheriff, elected in November 2008.
Clayton served in the Sheriff's Department for 20 years before retiring in the early 2000s, including serving as the Washtenaw County Jail administrator just before his retirement. Currently, Clayton runs an international law enforcement consulting firm, specializing in racial profiling issues.
Clayton has stated his priorities in the 2008 race to be returning to a more community-policing, root causes approach, rather than the Department's recent focus on contract road patrols.
