Join Our Mission.

My name is Robert Bass and I am running for Sheriff for Montgomery County Maryland. 

Everything I have and anything of consequence I owe to the incredible women in my life. 

 My mother, a former seamstress and educator, raised me with the immeasurable help of my aunts. Those women were able to provide me with both a loving home and the emotional support that I needed in order to survive the streets of Brooklyn in the 1980’s.

As the oldest male in my family, it was a privilege to set a positive example by pursuing my dream academically and athletically by way of a college education. I used my natural athleticism and passion for justice as a ticket to the University of Miami.

 Through hard work and perseverance, I became an All-American Linebacker and earned the opportunity to play in the NFL.  After time with the Packers and the Bears, I left the game to become Player Development Director for The Miami Dolphins. The experience I had on the field defending players, as well as in the office representing them, helped shape the man that I am today. 

 A call to serve my fellow teammates and the community at large is what drew me to police work. 20 years ago, I dared to make a career change while my family was in the process of growing. We decided to make Montgomery County our home, where soon after, I achieved my dream of becoming a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputy. I served for 8 years before starting my own security company which operates within the greater DMV region. 

During one of the most momentous times in history, I can no longer sit on the sidelines. We have the chance to create the model of 21st century policing.

As Sheriff, I will use my leadership to implement policies and a culture of acceptance for all.
