The Boubacar for Sheriff Podcast

Host: Tameka “Meek” Dual

Sheriff Candidate: Sheriff candidate Boubacar

Location: Suffolk, VA

In this candid episode, Sheriff candidate Boubacar talks fatherhood, service, and what a nonpartisan Sheriff’s Office should look like in a fast-growing Suffolk, VA. He shares lessons from task-force work on human trafficking and crimes against children, explains why community-based policing matters, and lays out practical plans for school resource officers, youth mentorship, church safety support, and transparent training (including body-worn cameras). The conversation also tackles Suffolk’s rapid growth, rising service calls, and why investing in public safety is an investment in schools, neighborhoods, and local business.

You’ll hear about:

• Why the Sheriff’s job is about service, not party labels—and how to keep it people-first in Suffolk.
• A relationship-first approach to SROs and a realistic plan to support youth at risk before problems escalate.
• Church safety made simple: walk-throughs, usher basics, and event support that respects worship.
• Transparency & training: setting standards, using body-worn cameras, and reporting clearly to the community.
• Partnering with faith leaders, civic leagues, nonprofits, and businesses to diagnose problems and focus resources where they’re needed most.
