Sheriff Chad Chronister is a veteran law enforcement officer who has served our community at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office since 1992.

Chad worked his way up through the ranks and has earned many department and citizen commendations over the years. He continues that service as our Sheriff in many community organizations like Hillsborough County Animal Services, Tampa Bay Sports Commission and Boys and Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay among many others.

We deserve a fair and just Sheriff who has the right experience, integrity and leadership. Our community deserves a Sheriff like Chad Chronister.
