Wiley announces candidacy for Pct. 2 Constable

I grew up with the law enforcement experiences of my father C.B. Wiley, who was Justice of the Peace for many years and was the elected Constable of Precinct 2. The long hours and strenuous duties I witnessed my father undertake and myself as his deputy has given me great insight into the duties and responsibilities of the office. I have worked hand in hand with the U.S. Postal inspector and many other agencies in multiple states including Van Zandt County. While Captain of the Van Zandt County Bloodhound Team, I was responsible for leading other members and obtaining results in strenuous situations that lead to the apprehension of criminals and the successful return of missing loved ones to the homes and families. My background and the drive to help people makes running for Precinct 2 Constable a dream of mine since childhood. The business and management experience I have garnered from my mother Mary Wiley, while helping grow a successful family business and Van Zandt County staple, Wiley’s Gun Shop, will be valuable when leading the deputies of my office. I have also trained as a Texas Parks and Wildlife Hunters Safety Instructor, Texas Department of Public Safety Concealed Handgun Instructor, and a Texas Board Certified Private Investigator. I graduated from Canton High School in 1982, and completed the Kilgore Police Academy as President and Top Gun of my class. I continued my law enforcement career as a Sergeant with Van Police Department for 3 years. I then served a deputy to my father in Precinct 2 until his death in May with over 1000 hours of training as a Peace Officer and Constable.
