Five have range of goals and experience in Sevier sheriff's race
Harry Montgomery, 71, is a lifetime resident of Sevier County, retired police chief in Gatlinburg and brother of the late sheriff.
"I hope folks will look at my background and experience," he said, acknowledging that "I might have retired a little too quick."
Montgomery said he was with the Gatlinburg police for 26 years, 19 as chief, and he foresees a rise in the crime rate because of economic conditions and a tightening job market.
"A shortage of jobs creates crime," he said, and he added that he sees a rise in theft and home invasions.
"It's going to affect the county. We have to be prepared."
Montgomery said his management style is "totally different from (current Sheriff Ron) Seals. I am a more hands-on person. I won't be a desk sheriff.
"What's important is protecting the people and their property. People like to feel safe when they lie down to sleep at night."
He said Sevier County has a lot of drug problems that result in other crimes.
The Montgomery brothers' father was assistant police chief in Gatlinburg, Harry Montgomery said.
