Scott Male
In his first run for public office, Scott Male said he’s running because he believes his experience working closely with the clerk of courts office has given him a unique perspective as to how the office operates, how it interacts with the public, law enforcement agencies, courts, and attorneys.
“I will bring the same level of dedication to the clerk’s office that I did to the prosecuting attorney’s office,” he said. “If I am elected as your clerk, I will serve as your fulltime clerk, and remain dedicated to making the Warren County Clerk’s Office the standard in which other counties look to.
Male, 57, is a retired law enforcement officer with more than 30 years of experience in the Warren County criminal justice system. During that time, he served as chief investigator for the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office. In seeking the clerk of courts office, Male has the support of Spaeth.
If Male is elected, he identified his top priorities for the clerk of courts’ office as:
Improve how records are kept and how they are accessed.
Ensure that public records can be easily accessed, and that confidential information is protected.
Expand the electronic filing system and streamline the process of how documents are transferred to and from other agencies and look for ways to dramatically reduce the need for a physical visit to the office.
To address these priorities, Male said he would use his experience navigating the Warren County criminal justice system and the relationships he’s built over the years with members of the Warren County Bar Association, law enforcement, and the courts to find innovative solutions to increase office efficiency to better serve the citizens of Warren County.
When asked to describe himself in one word and why, Male said “dedicated.”
“I am a dedicated public servant,” he said. “In whatever I do, I am dedicated in following through.”
A resident of Hamilton Twp., Male is married and has two daughters, a son, and three grandchildren. He is a 1989 graduate of the Scarlet Oaks Police Academy.
