[July 2019] Request for Buncombe Sheriff’s Office Promotional Policy
Hello!
We would like to request a copy of the current, if any, promotional policy of the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office. Additionally, we would be interested to know if there are any requirements to be promoted to a supervisory position. Would you please also provide a list of persons promoted since Sheriff Miller took office?
In the past, it is our understanding that the promotional policy consisted of a candidate having to meet specific Minimum Requirements (years of service, training hours, advanced certifications, etc), Oral Board Interview, Written Examination, and a Practical Examination/Test.
Are any of these procedures currently in place? If not, how are persons selected for promotional opportunities (outside of the the Sheriff's Command Staff)?
Thank you.

Major Randy Sorrells – Detention
Captain Kevin Calhoun – Training
Captain Chad Edwards – Patrol
Captain Jillian Banks – Court Security and Detention
Captain Tony Gould – Detention
Exec. Lt. Preston Honeycutt – Patrol
Lt. Bert Alexander – Detention

Lt. Allan Endaya – Patrol

Sgt. Ryan Jordan – Criminal Investigations
Sgt. Jerry Burrell – Criminal Investigations
Sgt. Shawn Wildes – Training
Sgt. Dustan Auldredge – Patrol

Sheriff Miller is proud to have more women and people of color in leadership positions at the Sheriff’s Office than ever before.
You can find the full organizational chart for the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office on our website under the FAQ section and I have also attached the doc here.
We have also posted photos of the individuals who have been promoted to our Facebook page as well.

There is not a promotional policy document. If we have an open position then that will be announced internally and/or advertised publicly on the Buncombe County website. Sheriff Miller did choose his command staff upon entering office and reorganized/filled some positions at his discretion. He also brought in Chief Deputy Don Eberhardt to fill that role, he was in the position of Captain at the APD previously; and Major Daryl Fisher to oversee Patrol, he was previously retired from APD at the time.
Yes, there are minimum requirements to be promoted to a supervisory position. Continuing education credits, training credits and years of experience are calculated on each candidate prior to the interview process for an open position.
