Democrat Chipp Bailey, Mecklenburg County's sheriff since 2008, doesn't expect to run again when his term expires next year.
"I'm not going to make a definite decision until February," Bailey said Monday. "But I'll just say this. ... I'll have 41 years at the end of this term in law enforcement in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. And there's probably a lot of people tired of looking at me....
"It's been a good run but sooner or later somebody else has to do it."
Baily, 64, will be 66 at the end of his term. He won election in 2010 but was appointed in 2008 to succeed his friend, longtime Sheriff Jim Pendergraph.
The appointment that February followed weeks of controversy that saw Democratic Party officials pick Nick Mackey in a disputed election.
After weeks of political and legal challenges, county commissioners chose the low-key Bailey.

Hate to see him go. I don't know the sheriff's salary, but whatever it is, it isn't enough, considering all the b.s. he has to put up with.
Yep, I'll never forget that one. Too bad the competent likes of as good, and decent, a man as Bailey will forever be linked with the idiocy of Nick Mackey and the incredible incompetency of David Erdman as Party chair.
Insiders say Obama may appoint Mackey to a high level post as Border Control Director that was Pendergraphs old job he held a month or two under Bush before resigning. Mackeys qualifications are a perfect match to what Obama is looking for. Bailey is to square for the job.
Details forthcoming ...
Chipp has been a great Sheriff! The Sheriff's Office has never been as efficiently operated or as scandal free as it is now. Thank you for your public service Chipp Bailey!
Good Luck to Sheriff Bailey and yes I sure do remember the Mackey fiasco -- that was one of the biggest embarrassments for Charlotte that I've ever seen and if Mackey hasn't been barred yet then something is wrong with the system.
Sheriff Chipp Bailey was the only local Democrat to win by a landslide in the 2010 election.
He's an old school, good guy law man. He'll be hard to replace.
I want to run for Sheriff. I would love to take over for Bailey. I think he did a wonderful job and I'd like to run as his sucessor. Good luck in the future Sheriff.
I hear Bailey has been talking to Irwin Carmichael. I do know that he was at the Twilight Run on Friday wearing a 2014 campaign shirt. Anybody know the scoop?
Just please,please keep George Dunlap away from the Sheriff's Office!
I believe Carmichael is the self defense trainer for all the Sheriff Deputies right now. Probably knows his way around fairly well.
Sheriff Bailey will be missed. He is an honest, upstanding asset to Mecklenburg Co. Haven't been too many of them lately! It has been a pleasure to work with you Sheriff and your deputies!
I don't think the Mackey issue could tarnish Bailey's career. He has been a great Sheriff and Mackey will just be known as a crook, who tried to steal the office.

Great news as new meningitis deadly strain in NYC and SF causing untold number of homo deaths as the media plays it down like they do AIDS that continues to expand and gotten rampant under Obama who tamps it down. Fags cant catch a break plus muslim infiltrators cause sodomites to vanish all over. At least muslims are good for something but nothing else. Once muslims clean out the all fags they can be all vaporized with mini nukes. Win win.

Speaking of cops ...
His failure to follow the CCW permit application process should have him investigated by attorney general. There are laws and policies in place for a reason. Chip thinks he can make up the law as he goes. For that reason alone he cannot be trusted. Good Riddance. What will your buddy Keith Larson do without the NUMEROUS motorcycle officers you supply for his rides? Not real sure why a process serving, jail maintaining agency needs shiny motorcycles...ah, because CMPD has them?
Hank up badge? I'll bet he becomes a reserve deputy or double dips as a sworn officer in school security. I, like the other poster, do not think it will be too difficult to replace him. It is an administrative position, not a law enforcement position.

Scandle free what about the deputies that he fired because he claims that they didn't support him . Theres a lawsuit still lingering out there he did a lot for the sheriff office but a right don't make a wrong I'm just saying fire people in a recesstion with out a 100% proof sounds crazy but true . I have very miixed feeling about that wait c or the lawsuit to be over before we crown him best sheriff of modern time in Mecklenburg co.
You can't even spell 6:25 PM poster. You must be an angry ex-law enforcement loser that probably got fired for abusing the public trust! Those are exactly the folks that Sheriff Bailey has fired (for darn good reason) and none of them has won in court or even been offered a settlement. Survey his 1400 current employees and they will tell you he's the best Sheriff in decades. Period.
Wow 9:46 poster that's hard core.

Is RINO McCain this stupid? You dont make friends with terrorists. All muslims are pagan terrorists who stick together against outsiders. Ask any cop about a domestic situation where they both turn on you. Worse kind there is.

Confucius say never make friends with muslims as all muslims are the same and will turn on outsiders like any domestic situation.

Goodbye to the Boy Scouts as clearly Obama, as the first homo pedophile promoting president, was behind the return of homos and wanted troop leaders to molest young boys at will.
After the major age old pedophile Roman Catholic child molestation scandals a low profile has to be maintained on the Scout issue as the new pope is cleansing this from the system.
Obama can homosexualize adult systems to be like himself crossed the line with pedo issues as homos and pedos are 100% the same type parasites who support NAMBLA.

The decline and fall of comrade Barack Hussein Obama and his socialist peoples regime ... The gig is up.
This is cool!
Cases are far from being over. Local politics seems to play a part in wanting to hear these particular cases. State level is where it's going and if it's not heard there ... Federal level. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Everyone understands that Mecklenburg County is the largest county in NC and if these cases are heard here as well as win it will change the way NC as well as the other 99 sheriff agencies are operated. Changes are/will come just be ready. Everything is a little quiet now but again ... IT'S FAR FROM BEING OVER
