Knight is intelligent, motivated and organized, as his rapid ascent in the FHP demonstrated. He has worked in riot zones, coordinated hurricane evacuations, investigated traffic crimes and served in management. He has the political support of a wide range of community leaders, including the state attorney and public defender — who work opposite ends of the justice system.

--Sarasota Herald-Tribune


Tom Knight combines the experience, professionalism, objectivity and demeanor needed for the job. We believe he will bring the right approach to restore credibility to the Sheriff's Department.

--Venice Gondolier Sun & North Port Sun, August 10


Knight has strong ties to the community, the ability to focus over the long haul, an enviable work ethic and an open mind.

--The Pelican Press, July 31, 2008
