Welcome to the Patch Podium, where candidates weigh in on the issues each week. 

This week, we asked candidates for Pinellas County Sheriff:

How do you see technology playing a role in day-to-day operations and the longterm success of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office?

Click on each candidate's name to read his response:

• Bob Gualtieri

We'll keep this podium going until the candidates' debate at the Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater on July 17 (sponsored by Patch, the National Armed Services & Law Enforcement Memorial Museum and Bay News 9).
