Crystal Cline launches campaign for Warren County Sheriff
Crystal Cline is officially announcing her run for Warren County Sheriff. Longtime Warren County resident and veteran of the Front Royal Police Department, Cline will seek the Republican nomination. Her campaign kick-off fundraiser is scheduled for February 4, 2023.
“Over the last three years, our Sheriff’s Office has faced a crisis in leadership, resulting in the loss of trust and respect for the agency and the departure of many superb deputies. As your Sheriff, I will reestablish the agency’s standing with the community. I will bring a fresh, balanced perspective to improve department culture, restore integrity, improve transparency, and ensure the safety of all Warren County residents,” said Cline.

Cline has served the Town of Front Royal for over 22 years in law enforcement. She currently serves as the Operations Captain, which is the operational commander of the patrol and investigations divisions (criminal and narcotic). Captain Cline also supervises all critical response areas, including the Emergency Services Team (SWAT), Crisis Negotiations Team, and the Civil Disturbance Unit.
Cline holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Roanoke College and is currently completing a Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration from the University of the Cumberlands.
Crystal and her husband, George, are residents of Warren County. They raised eight children together, all of whom attended and graduated from Warren County Public Schools. Crystal and George are also the proud parents of three rambunctious pups: Cooper, Tango, and Cash.
A new website will be up and running soon that will provide more information about our candidate and her campaign. There is a Facebook page “Crystal Cline for Warren County Sheriff” that provides a link to her campaign kick-off event on February 4th.
