About Nina Daniels

My name is Juanita “Nina” Daniels, and Pasquotank County has always been my home. For more than a decade, I’ve proudly served in our Sheriff’s Office. I broke barriers as the first woman Sergeant to lead a division and went on to serve as a Lieutenant. Through those years, I’ve learned that true leadership is defined by service.

​

I believe safety comes from trust, and trust comes from listening. That’s why I’m committed to building strong relationships between law enforcement and our community. My promise is simple: to lead with integrity, to listen to our community, and to ensure Pasquotank County is a place where everyone feels valued and protected.

Building Trust. Strengthening Community.

Nina's approach involves a deep understanding of community needs. She listens, strategizes, and implements policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of all residents. Here's how her process unfolds:

Accountability

Leadership starts and ends with accountability.  Accountability isn’t just a principle, it’s a responsibility.  It’s the foundation for public trust, safety, and effective service. As Sheriff, I will hold myself and my entire agency to the highest standards.

Platform Values

Building Stronger Community Connections

I’m dedicated to fostering trust and safety by working closely with local law enforcement, engaging proactively with the community, and empowering residents to play an active role in public safety.

Deputy Morale

I believe that when deputies feel valued, supported, and led with integrity, they are better equipped to serve our community. My focus is on strengthening morale, building a healthy culture from the inside out, and ensuring every deputy has the leadership, resources, and respect they deserve.

Protecting Our Schools, Securing Our Future

​Keeping our schools safe means more than security; it means trained, trusted School Resource Officers and strong partnerships between the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office and the Superintendent’s Office. Our children deserve safe, supportive places to learn, and I’m committed to making that a reality.

Children Playing Together

Community Voices

Nina's dedication and passion have truly made a difference in our community. Her commitment to community safety and justice is inspiring.
