William Burnett: A Vision for Public Safety and Reform in Richmond In this episode of the Randy Wilson Podcast, we sit down with William Burnett, a Gulf War veteran, long-time public servant, and candidate for Sheriff of the City of Richmond. With nearly 30 years of experience in law enforcement — including leadership roles as a Sergeant with the Richmond Police Department and Lieutenant Colonel under former Sheriff C.T. Woody — Burnett brings a depth of insight and a fresh vision for change. As he seeks to lead the Richmond City Sheriff's Office, Burnett discusses the challenges facing the Richmond Justice Center, his focus on rebuilding morale and staffing, and the programs he believes can proactively engage youth and support those impacted by addiction and mental health issues. He also outlines his commitment to transparency, interagency collaboration, and effective, community-centered leadership. This is an in-depth conversation about public safety, leadership, and the future of justice in Richmond.
