   Allen announces candidacy for Jasper County Judge By KARI ELLIS Staff Writer
   
   Mark Allen
   
   Mark Allen has announced his candidacy for Jasper County Judge and will seek voter approval in the March 2006 democratic primary election.
   
   Allen is currently an investigator at the Jasper County criminal district attorney's office and has an extensive background in law enforcement and emergency management.
   
   Born in Port Arthur and raised in the Pine Grove Community in Newton County, Allen graduated from Newton High School and joined the Air Force in 1988.
   
   For six years, until 1994, Allen performed military police duties and was involved in several command situations including plane crashs and nuclear weapons convoys.He served two tours overseas and is a Desert Storm veteran.
   
   Allen's education includes a bachelor of arts degree in law enforcement administration from Ottowa University in Kansas and an associates degree in criminal justice from the Community College of the Air Force.
   
   He graduated from the Lamar Police Academy in 1995 and was employed with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office from 19961998, when former Sheriff Billy Rowles asked him to come to work at the Jasper County Sheriff's Office.
   
   "I took the opportunity to come back to this area," Allen said."It was something I'd been wanting to do for awhile."
   
   Allen also holds a master peace officer's license logging more than 5,395 hours of law enforcemnet and criminal justice training through the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standard and Education (TCLOSE).He is a certified police in sometimes teaches at the Angelina College police academy, specializing in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and laws governing arrest, search and seizure.
   
   In addition, Allen is a state certified special investigator and a certified jailer.
   
   If elected county judge, Allen said he will concentrate on three areas, the first being economic development within the county.
   
   "Jasper County, like most East Texas counties, has a high dependence on our trees and timber production," Allen said.
   ...
   Allen said he also wants to consider research to determine the cost effectiveness of a county court of law with felony jurisdiction.
   
   "If we have just a regular working system chrges, felony and misdemeanor, I think we can help push and prosecute cases faster and more efficiently.
   
   That would also bring in more revenue for fines and fees.It's being done in other counties and it literally pays for itself over time.
   
   Allen has been the deputy emergency management coordinator for Jasper, Newton and Sabine counties since 2002.He acted in the capacity of logistics chief over the space shutte Columbia recovery operation in 2003 and served as the deputy incident commander over the Hurricane Katrina evacuees sheltering operation at the East Texas Baptist Encampment in Newton County.
   
   With such an extensive background in emergency management, Allen says the third issue he will address as county judge is to update Jasper's emergency managemnt system.
